Introduction
Bash aliases are basically a way for you to run one command as another. For example, aliases are super convenient for creating shorthand commands for longer commands like I have listed in [My Bash Aliases](#my-bash-aliases). Follow the steps in this article to learn how to create all of the Bash aliases you need.
Add Bash Aliases
First, you need to add your alias to the `~/.bash_aliases` file. I do this with `nano` because it’s built into Ubuntu by default but you can do it however you want.
