Alias to start a shell script executes automatically

Question

I am trying to create an alias to start a shell script as below:

alias emulate="~/start_emulator.zsh"

But as soon as i save and source the zshrc file, the script executes automatically instead of typing the alias.

Is there a way to prevent that from happening.

Answer 1

Just put your script in /usr/bin/ . You shouldn't even need an alias at all then.
