[SOLVED] .bash_aliases file creates error output when opening terminal

Issue

Trying to figure out why when .bash_aliases file was created that it now adds an error output when opening new terminal window. Aliases inside file work fine but I don't want to have the error message generated every time I open a terminal. It should be noted that I created the .bash_aliases file since it was previously not generated.

Below is the .bash_aliases file

/*These are my own Aliases
  Author:Jose Estrada
*/
alias Rpi='ssh -X [email protected]'

Blow is the error message

bash: /*These: No such file or directory

    return get_config_vars().get(name)

bash: Arduino/: Is a directory

Solution

bash scripts does not have C syntax for comments. Instead of marking comments with /* */ you should start comment rows with #
