[Solved] bashrc alias

There must be a simple answer, but Google is failing me.

I made this alias in /etc/bash.bashrc

alias ls='ls -al --color=auto'

But no matter how I format it it ignores the l, I also tried -a -l but the l seems to get ignored. After reboot I open terminal and type alias and it shows "alias ls='ls --color=auto'"

Did you look in ~/.bashrc ?
