I need to add alias for certain commands, but can't figure out how to do this with post-start hooks.
For example, I want alias ll='ls -lah'.
Thanks.
One could edit ~/.bashrc file in post-start hook.
Like so:
hooks:
post-start:
- exec: sudo echo alias ll=\"ls -lhA\" >> ~/.bashrc

I am using Windows 10. I followed this tutorial on how to create bash aliases. I put the aliases in ~/.bashrc, and used source ~/.bashrc afterwards. When I tried to use one of the aliases, I get the following error:
$ docs
bash: docs: command not found
I opened a new PowerShell session, used bash, tried the alias and it still gave the same error. But it only worked when I tried it on Git Bash. From what I've researched, I was opening bash in a non-interactive shell. I tried the answer on this post and put shopt -s expand_aliases at the end of .bashrc, but it still wouldn't work. This is what my .bashrc looks like:
######## Aliases #######

alias gco="git commit"
alias gcom="git commit -m"
alias gpus="git push"
alias gpul="git pull"

shopt -s expand_aliases # allows aliases available in non-interactive shells
How do I make the bash aliases work in a non-interactive shell?
You have to turn on this feature:
shopt -s expand_aliases
I want to set a specific alias in .gitconfig to a bash script like this:
[alias]
example = "~/git-scripts/example-script.sh"
instead of:
[alias]
example = "!f() { arg1=$1; echo $arg1; }; f"
So, the echo script above would be in this file ~/git-scripts/example-script.sh
When i'm trying to execute a alias like this, i got this error:
expansion of alias 'example' failed; ~/git-scripts/example-script.sh is not a git command
What's wrong?
As Charles Duffy said in the comments area, i could make it work like this:
[alias]
example = "! ~/git-scripts/example-script"
Just add ! before the script path
Be careful with:
Permissions: If you are in Linux, just add execution permissions like this:
$ chmod +x YOUR_SCRIPT_PATH
Notice that you don't need the extension (.sh) at the script file. You can read more about this here
I've created a per project install of Homestead. I've included after.sh (in the root directory) to provision other packages like RethinkDB with no issues, but the aliases file (also in root directory) though appearing in the VM as ~/.bash_aliases isn't running any of the aliases when I'm type them in. So for example these aliases:
alias artisan='php artisan'
alias autoload='composer dump-autoload'
In the command prompt as:
artisan migrate:refresh --seed
autoload
Throw these errors:
Could not open input file: artisan
autoload: command not found
This happens for any of the aliases I try. I've checked that ~/.bash_aliases (or /home/vagrant/.bash_aliases) exists using nano, and it is definitely a copy of aliases. Just none of the commands are being used as if it doesn't exist or as if the file though in the right spot is inaccessible.
Anyone know why? or how to fix this? It's amazing how annoying not being able to use the aliases I typically would use locally, or on global install of Homestead when using this VM.
UPDATE
I noticed I get a list of command not found errors when I SSH into the VM that equal the number of aliases I've included. The same list appears if I run source ~/.bash_aliases. For complete clarity .bash_aliases is located in /home/vagrant next to the mapped source folder /home/vagrant/app, and the output from SSHing into the VM, and the associated aliases file are included:
SSH into VM
$ vagrant ssh

Nano output of .bash_aliases, which looks like my aliases file, but the output after this of alias truncates the first letter of the aliases.

FINAL SOLUTION
Thanks to #JoshRumbut for solving this issue, see below for his comments.
vagrant#app:~$ tr -d '\r' <~/.bash_aliases >~/tmp
vagrant#app:~$ mv ~/tmp ~/.bash_aliases
vagrant#app:~$ unalias -a
vagrant#app:~$ source .bash_aliases
Is bash configured to look in the .bash_aliases file?
What happens if you run source ~/.bash_aliases? Do they work then?
Edit: current theory is that a weird character, possibly the carriage return (\r) is embedded in the file somewhere, as in thus question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/35642/why-are-these-aliases-failing
When I launch the Terminal app on Mac, the process will end and output the following:
Last login: Wed Aug 6 15:53:58 on ttys003
[Process completed]
This started happening when terminal froze and I restarted it. From then on, this is the message that is displayed.
I can change the Shell to bin/sh in Terminal's preferences, but this prevents me from using my .bash_profile script.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks!
PS Here's my .bash_profile. I tried commenting it out and running Terminal and it still didn't work, but here is per request.

Old thread but still relevant. It seems the only way to fix this without having to do workarounds that cause other issues, is to reinstall the OS. Its been a common issue since 2000.
By trying above steps you will solve this problem.
Delete node module of the project.
npm install
cd ios(if ios is configured)
now run your app.
I was trying the below program,
This is a simple script, to cd into a folder
#! /bin/bash
cd /root/
But this below command , doesnt get into the folder
EDITED
#!/bin/bash
alias ex="cd /fs/fm"
alias ex1="source setenv"
alias ex2="cd /fs/fm/tests"
alias ex3="runtest"
To get into /root/ you should make sure that you have permissions. It's accessible if you're running as root itself but if you're running as a normal user you should consider becoming root first. One way is to use sudo:
sudo bash script.sh
And again, make sure your script is in UNIX format. Certainly you can't change to /root/\r.
sed -i 's|\r||' script.sh
dos2unix script.sh
This will never work The script you're running is a separate process, when it finishes you get back to the original environment (cwd, enviroment variables, etc...).
Create an alias:
alias r="cd /root"
or execute the script within your shell:
. myscript
Note: . is a synonym for source.
