My script startalias.sh:
#!/bin/sh
alias ls='ls -al --color=auto'
When I run this script my alias database does not pick it up.
But if I write it directly in the shell it works.
why?
linux shell-script

alias is a shell builtin. Executed in a subshell (like in a script) does not affect the main shell.
