| Okay, let's back up here a second.
|
| 1) If you want ot add an alias, let's do this right.
|
| a) Edit your ~/.bashrc, adding this line at the very bottom
| of the file:
|
| source ~/.aliases
|
| 2) Create your ~/.aliases by opening your favorite editor.
|
| vim ~/.aliases
| alias l="ls -alF --color=yes |more"
|
| ** note **
| An alias will work with quotes (") or an apostrophe (').
|
| This is the correct way about doing this. Use this method before you start
| editing /etc/profile, or /etc/bashrc. The reason for this is that those files
| access another file that you didn't seem to know about, and it's reading those
| files first, since they're higher in the pecking order.
Sorry, one more comment. Once you've done this, source your ~/.aliases, either
of the two lines will do that for you
. ~/.aliases
source ~/.aliases
I forget a step. So make that step 3.
