bash alias

Posted under » Linux on 1 November 2009

Tired of typing the same long commands over and over? 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.
