Aliases don't have locations in the file system. They can be *set* in
startup files of your shell or at the command line and the shell
remembers them. If set at the command line, they are not remembered
after the shall is closed. If set in a startup file, the shell gets
"reminded" each time it is started.
See the documentation for your shell, e.g.,
man bash
or
info bash
