Here is my solution. Improvements welcome!

In your ipython config, add the following lines: (mine is here: ~/.config/ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py)

c = get_config()

## Port bash aliases to ipython
import os, string
a = os.popen("bash -l -c 'alias'").read()
a = a.translate(string.maketrans("=", ' '), '\'"').split('alias ')
a = [tuple(x.strip().split(' ', 1)) for x in a]
c.AliasManager.user_aliases = [x for x in a if len(x) == 2]
