ZSH aliases not found

When I open my ~/.zshrc file and add alias homestead=“cd ~/Homestead”, I expect to be able to type homestead and be taken to the Homestead folder.

Instead I get the following error:

zsh: command not found: “cd

Even when I use single quotes, i.e. alias homestead='cd ~/Homestead' and run source ~/.zshrc I get the same error.

UPDATE: Also, when I run which homestead I get homestead: aliased to "cd

How can I fix this?

Solution

  • The answer was to open ~/.zshrc in Sublime Text as opposed to TextEdit and to check that the " were coming up as 042 in an octal dump.
