Your right you need to edit the .profile file to update your new aliases. Worked a treat for me. Well done. Fantastic Solution from kujjhotika.

However, if you have not created any alias yet on your MAC system, here we go with the solution. On MAC instead of .bashrc (linux system) you just open the .profile file in your home directory. So that if you use vi .profile, then you can use any alias just by editing this file. For example, alias c='clear'. Here c command will do the work same as the command clear. Hi Noushad,

We need to place this line "source ~./bashrc" in ~/.bash_profile file and it works. Hope this info would be helpful to someone. OX 10.5 Terminal doesn’t read ~/.bashrc file natively.
