That took a little looking for me too. You'll find it in:
/etc/profile.d/alias.sh

Not exactly. Most of that's controlled by various files, many
of which are in /etc/profile.d directory.

It would get overwritten each time you logged in. Edit the
alias.sh file, & maybe look through the .sh files for more stuff
to set the way you want in terminals.
