osx - Laravel/Homestead configuration: update aliases -

In the process of learning Laravel, I am following the tutorials Make Labrices from Scratches (Larrag)

In the fist video, we are setting everything up, Eniretter asks to update the alias with the following command:

  sudo vi ~ / .aliases  

And explains:

Just remember that this file will not be present on your machine, so it is possible that Bash profile.

What does this mean?

Open the file only to the ~ / .aliases Vi editor If you have not used this file before using it, then it probably does not exist yet, so you need to create it.

To make it, you can easily run these commands:

  sudo touch ~ / .aliases sudo vi ~ / .aliases  

Or if you can use some other text editor of the preference that you can run:

  Sudo pstorm ~ / .aliases (for phpStorm IDE)  

When the file is opened, just paste it that tells you the statement.
