How can I simply persist functions written in the current terminal session for later use?
Suppose I write a Bash function at the command line: ``` $ hello-world() { echo "Hello, world!"; } ``` and I revise (perhaps hitting up-arrow to retrieve it from command history and edit it) and test and debug it, and eventually have a working function that does what I want: ``` $ hello-world Hello, world! ``` Now I'd like to make this available in future sessions, so I... well, currently, the best I can come up with is `type hello-world | tail -n+2 >> ~/.bash_aliases` (using `tail` to remove the helpful `hello-world is a function` message). Is there a built-in, or simpler way to do this? Ideally, something that would add every function I've written in the current shell?
