-bash: alias: /Users/username/.bash_profile”: not found












0















I'm trying to add some aliases to my bash profile, but it's not working for some reason and I get these errors when I open a new terminal or execute bash profile with . ~/.bash_profile. I would appreciate any help.




These are the errors I get:



-bash: alias: /Users/username/.bash_profile”: not found 



-bash: alias: package: not found



This is what I have in my bashprofile:



export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_172.jdk/Contents/Home



"#" Aliases



alias edit=“open ~/.bash_profile”



alias pack=“mvn package && clear”





bash alias

          The problem is that you're using fancy quotes (“) rather than regular quotes ("). This causes ~/.bash_profile” and package to appear as distinct arguments to alias instead of the right-hand side being taken as a single string. alias then starts looking for aliases with those names.



          Correct the quotes and you should be all set.

                    Histoire des bourses de valeurs

Auparavant, le financement des armements navals vénitiens et hollandais sous la forme d'actions reste une exception. Elles prennent leur essor au XVIII e  siècle sur un marché déjà mondialisé, soutenu par les banques centrales et le Trésor public. L'émergence de la presse écrite, qui publie des listes de cours, puis du télégraphe, qui les diffuse rapidement, permet aux entreprises de faire connaître leur activité et aux actions de prendre le relais vers le milieu du XIX e  siècle, le développement des chemins de fer, de l'extraction de matières premières et précieuses s'ajoutant à celui des banques et des canaux.
