Alias [making it permanent]

[nicolas angel]

Hi,

i recently learned about aliases in command line, so i tried to make
some on my own.The problem is that i cant make them permanent, and in
the next reboot they all get lost.
e.g i type:

alias test='echo test @@@ test'

How can make them last.....

Thanks for your time,
Nicolas Ang

Add them and other customizations to your ~/.bash_profile. For more
details, "info bash" or "man bash" and look for the section on how
bash reads its startup files.

Looking at the comments in ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc it would seem
that you're supposed to put them in the bash_rc file.

Put them in *your* .bashrc, as in /home/youtheuser/.bashrc and they should 
then be available for you to use from any shell you start.
