For the newer versions of MacOS it's ~/.zprofile instead of ~/.bash_profile
unless you change the source to /etc/zshrc

You can also use Command+Shift+Period(.) and that will let you see hidden files easily :) great video tho :)

I want to create an alias for this command: eval "$(starship init bash)" But it doesn't allow me because it contains " in it. What should I do?

How do I edit an existing alias in case I had a typo when I saved?
