The .zprofile is sourced only by login shells. This is good for
environment variables (though I usually use .zshenv for that),
which are inherited by subprocesses, but not for aliases, which
are local to each shell instance. So, aliases need to be defined
by each shell instance. The .zshrc (sourced by interactive shells)
is generally what one wants for aliases. Of course they won't be
available in scripts.
I use a .zalias file, which I source from .zshrc:
[[ -r ~/.zalias ]] && source ~/.zalias
and from scripts for which I want my usual aliases.
