Solution

To make a custom alias permanent across shell sessions, you should edit the .bashrc file. Here are the steps:

  1. Open the terminal.
  2. Type nano ~/.bashrc to open the .bashrc file in a text editor.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the file and add the alias in the format alias customcommand='yourcommand'.
  4. Press Ctrl + X to exit, then Y to save changes, and finally Enter to confirm.
  5. To make sure your changes take effect, type source ~/.bashrc in the terminal.

Please note that this method works for bash shell. If you're using a different shell, the file you need to edit might be different (for example, .zshrc for zsh shell).
