Bash Aliases

    In a bash shell there is a special file provided for creating aliases to avoid directly editing your .bashrc logon script. This file is called .bash_aliases and is automatically imported in .bashrc on startup of a new shell.

    The format of an alias is:

    alias text_to_be_typed='command to be executed'
    

    The ' are only needed if the command has spaces.

    See command that will execute when alias is used 🔗
