I have this echo command:

$ echo "alias notepad++="C:/Program\ Files\ "(x86)"/Notepad++/Notepad++.exe"" >> ~/.bashrc

enter image description here

As shown in the picture it does not recognize the parenthesis.

  • Since you have no variables in that line, you could also use single quotes: echo 'alias notepad++="C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/Notepad++.exe"'

Escape them. Use this instead:

echo "alias notepad++="C:/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Notepad++/Notepad++.exe"" >> ~/.bashrc
