How to find out where alias (in the bash sense) is defined when running Terminal in Mac OS X

Question

How can I find out where an alias is defined on my system? I am referring to the kind of alias that is used within a Terminal session launched from Mac OS X (10.6.3).

Answer 1

Also in future these are the standard bash config files

• /etc/profile
• ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login or ~/.profile
• ~/.bash_logout
• ~/.bashrc
