I added an alias in my .bash_profile file in my home directory on Mac Leopard. For example,
alias preview = "open -a preview"
alias lsall = "ls -l"
When I try to run these commands from the command line, I get the message that command not found
Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!
You just need to lose the spaces around
=, i.e.You also need to name the file
.bash_profileif you want it to be executed automatically when you start a new shell.
