Where did my git aliases go?
#gitMay 10, 2020
On my machine I have the following git aliases (or is it aliai? 🤔)
alias ga="git add -A"
alias gc="git commit -m"
alias gs="git status"
alias gp="git push origin master"
But recently, when I did ga
, I got zsh: command not found
🤦♂️ ah, duh.
I forgot that after I upgraded to Catalina, zsh
is now the default shell instead of bash
.
Didn’t realize that would wipe out all my aliases 🤷♂️, but I guess that’s cool. Good thing I didn’t have a ton in my bash_profile
😬
To set up aliases in zsh, this article was extremely helpful.
I believe all I did was:
vi ~/.zshrc
- Added the aliases
- Press
:wq
to exit
And then you have to open a new terminal window, or somehow reload the terminal (forget if thats a thing you can do. I know you can do something like that in Ruby 🤷♂️).
And then you should be set! 👍
