.bash_aliases

## To make sure that your .bash_aliases file is loaded by bash, make sure that you have the following code in your ~/.bashrc file:
# if [ -e $HOME/.bash_aliases ]; then
#    source $HOME/.bash_aliases
# fi
#
# If you don't have the above code snippet in your .bashrc file, add it to the file, save it, and then run the command "source ~/.bashrc"

#All the standard automatic color formatting of the typical commands - these are in your .bashrc file by default.
