Greeting,
I have a file /home/<user>/.aliases
#! /bin/bash
alias hid='ls -d .* --color=auto'
alias cd..='cd ..'
alias ll='ls -l'
After .bashrc runs (which calls .aliases) this is the behavior I get.
dmcclure@catspaw:~$ ll
ll: command not found
dmcclure@catspaw:~$ hid
. .bully .gnome .mozilla .steam .Xauthority
.. .BurpSuite .gnupg .msf4 .steampath .xscreensaver
.aliases .cache .hplip .openoffice .steampid .xsession-errors
.armitage .config .ICEauthority .paradoxlauncher .sudo_as_admin_successful .xsession-errors.old
.armitage.prop .dbus .icons .pki .thunderbird .zshrc
.bash_history .dmrc .java .profile .viminfo
.bash_logout .face .lesshst .pulse-cookie .vnc
.bashrc .face.icon .local .putty .wget-hsts
.bashrc.original .fltk '.~lock.Group notes for the week of February 27th.odt#' .ssh .wingpro8
dmcclure@catspaw:~$ cd..
cd..: command not found
dmcclure@catspaw:~$ alias cd..='cd ..'
dmcclure@catspaw:~$ cd..
dmcclure@catspaw:/home$
Any ideas why the cd.. alias fails and kills the rest of the aliases?
