How to create a permanent alias without resourcing the .bashrc-like file?

I really like bash aliases, it annoys me that if I define in the shell it is only available for the session and ifevery time I addwant to some of bash resource filesadd a new alias I need to reload that file.have type two commands:

echo "alias \"short-cmd\"='long-command'" >> ~/.bash_aliases
source ~/.bash_aliases

Any ideasway I can create an alias permanently with a single command?
