Hi all,
Please CC while answering, newbie here.
IIUC, aliases are nothing but shortcuts.
For e.g. cls=clear and so on and so forth.
Now I have made a file called aliases.zsh and want those aliases to
be used/called by .zshrc so I can use it within my zsh installation.
Then I tried -
$ head .zshrc
~/.zsh/aliases.zsh
# Lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
HISTFILE=~/.histfile
HISTSIZE=10000
SAVEHIST=10000
setopt appendhistory autocd extendedglob nomatch notify
bindkey -e
# End of lines configured by zsh-newuser-install
Trying to source it though get permission denied messages -
/home/shirish/.zsh $ source .zshrc
.zshrc:1: permission denied: /home/shirish/.zsh/aliases.zsh
Why am I get permission denied messages ?

Actually, 'source' and '.' do not require the file to have executable
permission. The problem is that you were executing the file instead of
sourcing it (which would have caused the aliases to be promptly
forgotten after executing). The line you want in ~/.zshrc is:
source ~/.zsh/aliases.zsh
- M.

That is what I did -
/home/shirish/.zsh $ cat .zshrc | grep source
source ~/.zsh/aliases.zsh
I thought it needed to have executable rights as well, but you are
right, they work well without executable rights.
