I trying to make my own alises. I have this in my ~/dotfiles:

alias hello="echo Hello"

I try to symlink this:

ln -sn "~/dotfiles/.alias" ~

But after this when i run my alias nothing happens Is there a path for aliases in home to symlink it?

CodePudding user response：

Make sure you are sourcing your aliases file in your .bashrc or .zshrc

the code for that in your .bashrc or .zshrc should look something like this:

if [ -f ~/dotfiles/.aliases ];
then source ~/dotfiles/.aliases
fi
