# How to Add an Alias in Macos Terminal


Zsh is the default MacOS Shell.
So to add an alias, we need to make changes to the zsh config file that is `.zshrc`.

## Open .zshrc

.zshrc is typically present in the home folder `~/.zshrc`

## Adding alias

Add the alias to the `.zshrc` in the following syntax

```
alias aliasName="command"
```

## Source .zshrc

After saving, source `.zshrc` using the following command in the Terminal

```
$ source ~/.zshrc
```
