"man bash", not qubes os specific:
"   When  bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a 
non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and 
executes commands from the
   file /etc/profile, if that file exists.  After reading that

that order,  and  reads
   and  executes  commands  from  the  first  one that exists and 
is readable.  The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is 
started to inhibit this

   behavior."

Ah, it was that easy! Sometimes I get stuck on things like this and 
can't find the answer myself. Thank you, Peter!

This question is not really Qubes OS specific.  

If you want these aliases to persist you have to put them into the 
"run commands" file of your command line interpreter (the shell).  
This is most likely the BASH.
(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell) for more information).
The usual "run commands" file of the your BASH is called "$HOME/.bashrc".

So you could either use an text editor of your choice to edit this file
or you could append the alias commands to this file by typing:

echo "alias ll='ls -lh'" >>$HOME/.bashrc

Luckily the $HOME directory is located in /rw of your appVM so these
edits should persist after a restart of either type of VM.

[qubes-users] How to make aliases persistent?

[Alex Lu]

For example, when I type:

alias ll='ls -lh'

it works just fine, but after restarting the VM (either appVM or 
templateVM), I have to do all over it again.
