alias

Creates aliases -- words that are replaced by a command string.

Aliases expire with the current shell session unless defined in the shell's configuration file, e.g. `~/.bashrc`.

More information.

• List all aliases:

• Create a generic alias:

alias {word}="{command}"

• View the command associated to a given alias:

alias {word}

• Remove an aliased command:

unalias {word}

• Turn `rm` into an interactive command:

• Create `la` as a shortcut for `ls --all`:

alias {la}="{ls --all}"
