I tried to make an alias to edit my bash profile, but when I save and relaunch a new window, I get the following:
Last login: Sun Jul 22 12:00:25 on ttys001
-bash: alias: nano ~/.bash_profile: not found
Adams-MacBook-Pro:~ adam$
### manually reopen a new terminal
Adams-MacBook-Pro:~ adam$ ebp
Adams-MacBook-Pro:~ adam$
My .bash_profile looks like :
# edit bash profile
alias ebp= 'nano ~/.bash_profile'
# alias rbp= 'source .bash_profile'
Also fwiw, my other aliases work fine. Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

Remove the space between
ebp=
and'nano ~/.bash_profile'
and the alias will work.
