How to Create Alias in Linux
The alias command can be used if you want to create a ‘shortcut’ to a shell command.
Syntax
# alias name='command'
Configuration
There are some frequently used commands, so in order to create the shortcuts we create the aliases for them in ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc file.
# vi ~/.bashrc alias search='grep' alias v='vdir' alias vdir='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS --format=long' alias which='type -path' alias wtf='watch -n 1 w -hs' alias wth='ps -uxa | more' alias cd..='cd ..' alias cp='cp -i' alias d='ls' alias df='df -h -x supermount' alias du='du -h' alias egrep='egrep --color' alias fgrep='fgrep --color' alias grep='grep --color' alias ls='ls -F --color=auto' alias l='ls' alias la='ls -a' alias ll='ls -l' alias lsd='ls -d */' alias md='mkdir' alias mv='mv -i' alias p='cd -' alias rd='rmdir' alias rm='rm -i'
Save the file and enjoy shortcuts 🙂
