title: gnome-terminal new tab with alias as command to execute
body: <p>I've created an alias in <code>.bashrc</code> file as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>alias myproject = 'cd ~/Desktop/myproject'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After saving the file when I restart my terminal, typing in <code>myproject</code> takes me to the project directory but when I try to use the alias as a command argument to a new <code>gnome-terminal</code> tab it throws an error, </p>
  
  <pre><code>gnome-terminal --tab -e "myproject"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>throws the error</p>
  
  <pre><code>There was an error creating the child process for this terminal
  Failed to execute child process "myproject" (No such file or directory)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is wrong with this ?</p>
