alias word='command'
Invoking word
will run command
. Any arguments supplied to the alias are simply appended to the target of the alias:
alias myAlias='some command --with --options'
myAlias foo bar baz
The shell will then execute:
some command --with --options foo bar baz
To include multiple commands in the same alias, you can string them together with &&
. For example:
alias print_things='echo "foo" && echo "bar" && echo "baz"'
