For OSX, this 2-step sequence worked well for me, in locating an alias I’d created long ago and couldn’t locate in expected place (~/.zshrc).
cweekly:~ $ which la
la: aliased to ls -lAh
cweekly:~$ grep -r ' ls -lAh' ~
/Users/cweekly//.oh-my-zsh/lib/aliases.zsh:alias la="ls -lAh"
Aha! “Hiding” in ~/.oh-my-zsh/lib/aliases.zsh. I had poked around a bit in .oh-my-zsh but had overlooked lib/aliases.zsh.
