Cygwin doesn't have aliases.

As others have pointed out:

1. make sure which program/shell your are using

2. get a basic knowledge about the program/shell your are using

Because you don't give any input, the only reasonable answer to your
question is: "it depends".

Do yourself a favour and Read The Fine Manual! The section you should
care about is called "FILES" at the end of the manpage.
