I have a core set of bash aliases defined in my .bash_profile
(Mac). But when I activate a pipenv with pipenv shell
, my aliases don't work and the bash alias
command returns nothing.
Is there a configuration step needed to spawn pipenv shells that inherit bash aliases from the parent shell?
Aliases are never inherited. .bash_profile
is only sourced for login shells, and pipenv
apparently creates a nonlogin interactive shell. Aliases should be defined in .bashrc
, and on a Mac (where terminal emulators starts login shells by default), add [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && source ~/.bashrc
to the end of your .bash_profile
.
