Alias

• Shells let you define command aliases: shortcuts for commands you use very frequently.

• Examples

• alias ls='ls -la' Useful to always run commands with default arguments.

• alias rm='rm -i' Useful to make rm always ask for confirmation.

• alias frd='find_rambaldi_device --asap --risky' Useful to replace very long and frequent commands.

• alias cia='. /home/sydney/env/cia.sh' Useful to set an environment in a quick way (. is a shell command to execute the content of a shell script).
