alias

Creates an alias for a word when used as the first word of a command. Note that these operations are not permanent, expiring when the current shell session ends.

  • Create a generic alias:

alias {{word}}="{{command}}"

  • Remove an aliased command:

unalias {{word}}

  • List all aliased words:

alias -p

  • Turn rm into an interactive command:

alias {{rm}}="{{rm -i}}"

  • Create la as a shortcut for ls -a:

alias {{la}}="{{ls -a}}"
