I do not know why, but after making a whole bunch of fish aliases. I'm assuming I have neglected one simple step after assigning them all but I cannot seem find the solution myself.
Can anyone lend me a hand?
Thank you very much!

A fish alias is actually implemented as a function. To save a function, you need funcsave. So this is the sequence
alias foo=bar
funcsave foo
That creates ~/.config/fish/functions/foo.fish which will then be available in any fish session.
The alias command also works without the =:
alias foo "bar baz qux"

@MrNycticorax, the alias syntax without the = goes way back in fish Commented Jun 2, 2021 at 14:37
It basically boiled down to:
- Open
~/.config/fish/config.fishin your favorite editor. If it's not already there, it'll make it for you. (Don'tsuit though.) - Add all the aliases you want. It'll save them and always load then because this is apparently Fish's version of bashrc.
- Save it, baby!
- Enjoy.
