Bash alias

Aliases in Bash allow you to create shortcuts for long or frequently used commands. This makes it easier to execute complex commands with a simple keyword.

To create an alias, use the syntax alias name='command' , where name is the shortcut you want to use, and command is the full command you want to run.

In this example, ll lists all files in long format.

In this example, gs is a shortcut for git status .

To view all current aliases, use the alias command without arguments.

To remove an alias, use unalias name .

To make an alias permanent, add it to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file.
