Activating Our Changes
The changes we have made to our .bashrc will not take affect until we close our termi- nal session and start a new one, since the .bashrc file is only read at the beginning of a session. However, we can force bash to re-read the modified .bashrc file with the fol- lowing command:
[me@linuxbox ~]$ source .bashrc
[me@linuxbox ~]$ source .bashrc
After doing this, we should be able to see the effect of our changes. Try out one of the new aliases:
[me@linuxbox ~]$ ll
[me@linuxbox ~]$ ll
