Update the answer for current Macs running Zsh, without making it Mac-specific.

Apr 21, 2021 at 12:46 comment added Arvind K. I had to add in ~/.bash_profile . OS. -MacOS BigSur, 11.2.2
Apr 21, 2021 at 1:14 comment added Daniel Falabella For those who are finding this answer in 2021 - you need to add it to .zprofile instead of .bash_profile. See: stackoverflow.com/a/58310864/4282321

Sep 16, 2019 at 8:06 comment added Nathan G I only have ~/.bash_history and ~/.bash_sessions in my new Macbook. Ideas?
May 26, 2017 at 5:41 comment added rhand And after you added the alias, saved and exited do a source ~/.bashrc to activate it without exiting Bash.

Jul 25, 2014 at 15:54 comment added Gregg Leventhal @Eonil Macs use ~/.bash_profile, but you could add source ~/.bashrc into that file to make bashrc get sourced in.

Jan 6, 2012 at 13:01 comment added Burhan Khalid You need alias ll='ls -lG' for the same effect in macosx.
Jan 6, 2012 at 12:12 comment added Eonil One more, I had to add the command ~/.profile instead of ~/.bashrc to make it work. Maybe this is Mac OS X specific.
Jan 6, 2012 at 7:12 comment added Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Ah right, BSD ls doesn't support --color.
Jan 6, 2012 at 7:10 comment added Eonil It worked!, anyway --color=auto parameter made an error. Other parts worked well.
