This is just a short post for anyone that may have experienced something I encountered recently.
I have several shortcuts/aliases for quick terminal commands and I noticed that when I was running a composer update on a project, it would say composer is not found. I was confused because I've used composer hundreds of times on this machine and never had an issue. I was racking my brain to figure out what could have happened, then it dawned on me. ZSH.
I had recently upgraded my mac terminal as well as my linux box terminal to use ZSH instead of bash and discovered that the .bash_profile settings no longer work. So if you are experiencing this same issue, the solution is super simple. Just copy all those commands you have stored in .bash_profile and either open or create a .zshrc file in the same folder as your .bash_profile and paste all those commands in there, save, and restart your terminal! That's it. You're aliases are back now!

If you put your aliases into a file called
.aliasesand then addto each of your shell startup scripts (.bash_profile or .bashrc, .zshrc) then you can have one central place manage them.
Nice. I like that! Thanks for sharing
