I set up some aliases in my .bash_profile on my Max OS X. It works but when I'm opening a new tab I always have to load my .bash_profile file with this command: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>source ~/.bash_profile </code></pre> How can I make it work for every terminal I'm opening, even if I'm restarting my Mac or Linux computer?

If you use oh my zsh , you can add source ~/.bash_profile line at the end of .zshrc file at the following path: /Users/YOUR USER NAME/.zshrc , then restart your Terminal/iTerm2 app. <blockquote> Note that this file is hidden. You can press CMD + SHIFT + . in Finder to see it, Or just open it in default text editor with the following command from terminal: open ~/.zshrc </blockquote>
