Bash: alias

alias does not accept parameters but a function can be called just like an alias, according to official documentation "for almost every purpose, shell functions are preferred over aliases"

Examples

• Execute alias to display your aliases

alias trim="awk ' {\$1=\$1} 1 '"

alias g="grep"
alias gi="grep -i"
alias gv="grep -v"

alias la="ls -la"

alias NF="awk '{print \$NF}'"

alias sourceprofile="source ~/.bash_profile"
alias zsourceprofile="source .zprofile"

alias p8="ping 8.8.8.8"

alias mp="multipass"
alias mp_l="multipass list"
alias mp_la="multipass launch"
alias mp_launch="multipass launch"
alias mp_find="multipass find"
alias mp_f="multipass find"

alias viconfig="vi ~/.ssh/config"
