If you are linux user and new to linux. Aliases can make terimnal your one stop shop for anything.

1. Simple way:

Go to ~/.bashrc

2. To list aliases use alias and all aliases will be listed.

i.e

alias command will list all aliases in your system

 

3. Use one alias in another

alias anAlias='anotherAlias hello' 

 alias anotherAlias='echo'


4. Unalias

 unalias anotherAlias

Will remove the alias.

5. Session vs permanent aliases

alias anAlias='cd theDir' 

Will only create an alias for the shell session.

If you want to make it permanent,

Put it in ~/.bashrc
