@mpusch88 Thanks so much for opening a PR! I'll get this triaged for review ✨ |

Unfortunately, this is the wrong fix: you don't want to recreate aliases every time the profile is loaded. All that is needed is to fix the instructions, for all shells, as argued here; in short: make it clear that the code is one-time setup code that programmatically updates the profiles / initialization files - no need to add anything to the latter manually. |
@mklement0 Thank you for the input on this! After our team reviews and validates whether this is the case, you or anyone else would be welcome to submit a PR to make that correction 💛 |

As this line is already in the profile, this will have the same effect. I am convinced this was written by AI and not checked.
