You do not have to logout. You just got to 'source ~/.bash_profile' to make it work.
I am not using export after my aliases and it works.

Hi Users of Fedora
I added below line to last line fo my ~.bash_profile alias l='ls -la' I logout and login again then try issuing: $ l on command prompt but had no effect. Is there other way to make my custom alias (put in ~.bash_profile) work?
It has no problem if I make an alias in gnome-terminal : $ alias l='ls -la' $ l Issuing 'l' command on command prompt will produce the desired result.
Thank you yunus
If I remember correctly, you also need to export the alias. See if adding "export l" to .bash_profile helps.
