Alias no working in sh
Hi,
I have a another issue regarding the alias ,and still i have a question raised in this Forum and i don't want to post another question for the same issue, if I'm wrong i can ask this question separately

the issue is the alias working fine for only bash ,not on sh
since i created only .bashrc file i can see why it's working on bash only ,for sh i created the a separate .shrc file but it's not working there
any suggestion

you need to add your alias in to .bachrc file

the .bachrc file is in your home directory.

open the .bachrc file then add your alias in to the file

Example:

Code:
alias c='clear'
alias ls='ls -lrt'

Note: ctrl + l it will clear the screen.

after adding the line into your .bashrc file the alias is not work.
your shell need to re-read the .bashrc file.
so you need to execute the following command

Code:
$ . ~/.bashrc
