I put alises to .bashrc file however it doesnt sourced when it comes to /bin/sh which is linked to dash shell. Is there a compatiable version of sh terminal startup file for dash. I have tried .profile, .bash_profile etc.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! I don't know the answer, but someone else might. One thing to know: .bsah_profile are both .bashrc for the bash shell. I don't know about .profile, but at least for the first two, they are not for /bin/sh. – cocomac Nov 04 '21 at 00:14

There is no default initialization file for non-login dash shells, however you can define one of your choosing as described here What is the dash equivalent for .bashrc? – steeldriver Nov 04 '21 at 00:38
