I'm setting alias in .bash_profile in mac, like below:

alias XMLtoMESH='/OgreSDK/OgreCommandLineToolsMac_1.8.0/OgreXMLConverter'

alias OgreSource='~/garage-project/tryCV/tryOgre/tryOgre/media/Export/'

Actually, OgreXMLConverter is Command line tool, but I just want rename it with my own (XMLtoMESH), and it's work with no problem and issues when file start to execute. But little bit issue come from the path, because I must put "long" path like this "~/garage-project/tryCV/tryOgre/tryOgre/media/Export/" to convert my native file. So, the problem is, how I make it simple, because I try to add in .bash_profile with alias, it's doesn't work properly.

Thanks in Advance.

You don't need alias for path. You can try this:

OgreSource="$(echo $HOME)/garage-project/tryCV/tryOgre/tryOgre/media/Export/"

and use it like this:

cd ${OgreSource}
