damn stupid error

I just started with arch, installed it and setted everything in place, I installed neofetch and wated to give him an alias but when I typed

alias neofetch=

I pressed the enter key and setted the alias to nothing, now the command doesnt work nor the alias that is literally nothing, what do I do.

Edit: I did it alone.

Please edit your topic title to something that actually describes your issue.

What were you expecting setting the alias to nothing to achieve? If you want to remove an alias, use unalias.

Re: damn stupid error

Also, from the command line, one can ignore an alias by prepending a '\', you could have done \neofetch

Re: damn stupid error

Or using "command", however the OP asserts "I did it alone"
@arch-user101, if the means you figured how to remove an alias and in general, please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
