Aliases
Create aliases or shortcuts to type long commands faster.
- Create an alias.
alias <NAME>=<VALUE>alias ll='ls -l'- This alias will be available only for the current session.
- To make alias available since user log in, you need to edit
~/.bashrcfile (for Bash) and add thealiascommand. Then, you can runsource ~/.bashrcif you don’t want to wait until next log in to enable the alias. - To run a command instead of an alias with the same name, prepend
\. For example, I have this alias:alias ls='ls -l'but I want to runlscommand, not the alias: I execute\ls ./some-folder.
