How can I automatically load alias on startup?

Question

I am trying to add the alias ll = "ls -l", and I am wondering how can I load it every time I login to linux.

Answer 1

You can add it to your ~/.bashrc file in your home directory.

For more information on .bashrc and the likes, see this question.

Answer 2

In addition to adding it to ~/.bashrc (which only affects the current user), it can be added to /etc/profile, which will affect all users upon login.
