Description:
Having long or medium commands we use pretty often, it comes in handy to create commands aliases in Linux.
Solution:
An alias can describe a command or a section of commands.
To define an alias:
> alias short_command=”do something that makes sense in Linux”
Example:
> alias gotoroot=”cd /projects/htdocs/my_project”
However, after reboot, the alias is lost. That’s when we need to add it to out bashrc file:
>vim bash_profile
>nano .bashrc
Name of the profile file is variable, but location will always be in root.
