Hello,
I have a file ~/.profile which contains some alias like
alias la='ls -la'
and ./bash_profile file containing the lines
# source the users profile if it exists if [ -f "${HOME}/.profile" ] ; then source "${HOME}/.profile" fi
when i launch the default shell (mintty) from the cygwin.bat short cuts I get
8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- first window 8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- $ la total 33 drwxr-xr-x+ 1 philippe None 0 Apr 5 21:37 . drwxrwxrwt+ 1 philippe root 0 Apr 5 17:52 .. -rw------- 1 philippe None 2869 Apr 5 22:33 .bash_history -rwxr-xr-x 1 philippe None 1206 Apr 5 22:19 .bash_profile -rwxr-xr-x 1 philippe None 5663 Apr 3 21:33 .bashrc -rwxr-xr-x 1 philippe None 1461 Apr 3 21:34 .inputrc -rwxr-xr-x 1 philippe None 1695 Apr 5 22:18 .profile
$ mintty & 8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--
but in the new mintty window alias are not sourced :
8<--8<--8<--8<-- second window 8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- $ la bash: la: command not found
8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--
what should i modify to recover my alias?
