Create Simple Aliases for Long Commands

What This Does

Create a short name for a long command so you can type the short name instead of the full command every time.

Why It's Useful

Turn friction into muscle memory. Replace long, complex commands with short, memorable aliases you can type quickly.

How to Do It

  1. Type alias shortname='long command here'
  2. For example: alias ll='ls -la'
  3. Now typing ll runs ls -la
  4. Type alias to see all your aliases

Try This Now

Create an alias with alias home='cd ~', then type home and press Enter. You'll jump to your home directory instantly.
