Newish to Ubuntu so forgive if I word things oddly…
All I really want to do is have my ls command changed to ls --color=always -ragX
Got that solved… Alias will do nicely. Now, to have that run every time I log in (SSH in from Putty to the Command line)
I created .bashrc
in my home directory and entered
alias ls='ls --color=always -ragX'
saved, exited, and came back in
typed vi
looks like the .bashrc
file is not running? NOW what?

See https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Bash-Startup-Files
Note, no mention of
~/.bashrc
above.Check your terminal application's preferences to see if it launches a login shell or not.
Alternately, you can add this to your
~/.bash_profile
