Every time I reopen the MSYS console (not cmd.exe) I find that the aliases that I have added to the shell are cleared. How can I save my aliases so that I do not to reenter them on every use?

For example:

$ alias desktop="cd=C:/Users/Superuser/Desktop"
$ alias
clear='clsb'
desktop='cd=C:/Users/Superuser/Desktop'

Upon restarting:

$ alias
clear='clsb'

How can I preserve my aliases?
