After following this comment I added all my startup/alias commands to ~/.bashrc file and in ~/.bash_profile I added source ~/.bashrc

But still my aliases are not working. I have to manually source ~/.bash_profile overtime (with source ~/.bash_profile).

My .bashrc file:

alias km='cd /Users/apple/Desktop/km'

and my .bash_profile file

if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi
source ~/.bashrc

In my user directory I only have following files: enter image description here

My iterm2 profile: enter image description here

UPDATE: For me this solution actually worked

  • Try running Terminal, the built in one not iTerm. Does it load your alias?

So after all struggle the only solution which worked for me is by executing source ~/.bashrc every time when I open my terminal.

I've gotten it to work by using .login and .profile. The way it works is .login is sourced by every login shell and it in turn sources .profile

In .login I have:

. .profile

and in .profile I have:

function pgrep(){
ps -axww | grep -i "$1" | grep -v "[p ]grep"
}

function diskspc(){
sudo find / -iname "*$1*" -print0 | xargs -0 du -chs
}


JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.Framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home"
export JAVA_HOME

alias rsync="rsync --stats --progress"

alias forcequit="open -a iForce\ Quit"

alias ls="/bin/ls -FG"
alias ll="ls -la"
alias gls="gls --color=auto -aF"

alias find="/usr/bin/find"

. /sw/bin/init.sh

LC_ALL='C'
export LC_ALL

alias locate2='if [ $((`date +%s`-`eval $(stat -s /var/db/locate.database); echo $st_mtime`)) -gt 3600 ]; then echo "locate: db is too old!">/dev/stderr; sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb; fi; locate -i'

alias flocate="/sw/bin/locate.fink --database=/sw/var/locatedb"

LOCATE_PATH=/var/db/locate.database
#LOCATE_PATH=/sw/var/locatedb:/var/db/locate.database
#LOCATE_PATH=/sw/var/locatedb
export LOCATE_PATH

#LESS_IS_MORE=1
#export LESS_IS_MORE

Of course,feel free to use or not the stuff in my .profile.
