"HELP" .bash_aliases on fedora linux
 

I saved this into .bash_aliases file.

alias getdates='date | tee /home/name/fulldate.txt | cut -d " " -f 1 | tee /home/name/shortdate.txt | xargs echo hello'

Then try to run getdates in the terminal. However, I get a response of bash: getdates: command not found...

Can anyone let me know what I did wrong

You need to tell bash to reload the file.
