I would like to create an alias to rm
command in order to have a confirmation message after executing this command. So I am creating an alias like this alias rm='rm -i'
. But as far as I know this is a temporary alias and it lives until you close the terminal.
As it is explained here to save alias permanently I need to execute ~/.bash_aliases
or ~/.bashrc
commands in terminal and add my alias there. But when I execute ~/.bashrc
I get following error message :
bash: /home/bakhtiyor/.bashrc: Permission denied
When I run ~/.bash_aliases
I get another error message like this:
bash: /home/bakhtiyor/.bash_aliases: File or directory doesn't exist.
What is the actual problem and how can I solve it?
alias rm='rm -i'
doesn't solve the problem of using rm haphazardly
