I am trying to persistently define some aliases for my everyday terminal use. I started off with this tutorial: How to persistently define aliases in Terminal, more precisely with Mike's comment.
As he suggested I created a .bashrc
file and symlinked .bash_profile
and .profile
to it.
My two aliases I created in .bashrc
are the following:
alias showFiles= ‘defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder’
alias hideFiles= ‘defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder’
Now I have a problem, when i open a new bash window in Terminal, i get this error message:
-bash: alias: ‘defaults: not found
-bash: alias: write: not found
-bash: alias: com.apple.finder: not found
-bash: alias: AppleShowAllFiles: not found
-bash: alias: TRUE: not found
No matching processes belonging to you were found
-bash: alias: ‘defaults: not found
-bash: alias: write: not found
-bash: alias: com.apple.finder: not found
-bash: alias: AppleShowAllFiles: not found
-bash: alias: FALSE: not found
No matching processes belonging to you were found
Could someone please explain why I get this error and/or how to fix it ?
