ZSH not recognizing my aliases?

Add "source ~/.bash_profile" to your ~/.zsh config file.

if you do a very simple alias in zsh, does it work? open your .zshrc file, and add the following line:

alias ls='ls -GpF'

after adding that line, type this line in your Terminal:

source ~/.zshrc

tell us what happens. Also, just for shiggles, make sure you are using single quotes vs. double quotes, I have seen that make a difference in the past on different versions of shells/OS/whatnot.

Put this line:

/source: 'source ~/.bash_profile' into ~/.zshrc
