bash alias

Posted under » Linux on 1 November 2009

Tired of typing the same long commands over and over in your in you bash script? Do you feel inefficient working on the command line? Bash aliases can make a world of difference. To start

$ vim  ~/.bash_aliases
alias flush_redis='redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 FLUSHDB'

Save and exit.

All new aliases will be available next time you login using a new ssh/terminal session. To load changes immediately, type the following source command:

$ source ~/.bash_aliases

To list all alias

$ alias

To remove alias

$ unalias flush_redis

Not to be mistaken with softlink alias.
