Laravel sail (docker) bash alias not remembering

I’ve created a new Laravel application using docker and Laravel Sail. I’ve used Ubuntu on my Windows 11 computer to store my application using sail. Everything works as intended and I can access my application.

The problem I’m experiencing is that every time I need to run Laravel Sail commands I need to type in the full path: ./vendor/bin/sail (command). I know the way to add a bash alias is the following:

alias sail='[ -f sail ] && bash sail || bash vendor/bin/sail'

The issue is that every time I open up Ubuntu using my Windows terminal, or reset my computer, this alias is gone. I’ll have to re-apply the command into the terminal to use the alias again, until the next computer refresh.

How can I make sure this bash alias sticks, instead of having to type this out every single time I have to restart my computer?

    You can add alias depending on the terminal you’re using, If you’re using zsh or bash

    If zsh then run

    nano ~/.zshrc

    and then add alias – alias sail='[ -f sail ] && bash sail || bash vendor/bin/sail'

    source ~/.zshrc

    if you are using bash run in your terminal

    nano ~/.bash_profile

    and then add alias – alias sail='[ -f sail ] && bash sail || bash vendor/bin/sail',

     source ~/.bash_profile
