I think you need to learn about the bash shell, especially startup files. I suggest that you begin with this from chapter 3 of Beyond LFS: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/profile.html
There you will find where to put things like environment variables and aliases. Take it slowly: the examples given are quite sophisticated. If you still have your host system around, have a look at the versions of the files supplied by it. When I looked at my host I discovered that halt and restart were aliases (in /etc/bashrc). So the line alias halt='shutdown -h now' was in /etc/bashrc. I slow, methodical trawl through all the Bash files, and a bit of head-scratching over the difference between login and non-login shells, will work wonders for your understanding of Linux. You might also find https://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/zshbash-startup-files-loading-order-bashrc-zshrc-etc/ useful - many of my beginning students had the first diagram open most of the day!
