If you've used the shell, terminal, or command-line all that much, you'll know that it's powerful and extremely flexible. However, you'll also know that that power and flexibility comes with a cost. Commands can be hard to remember, have options and parameters that become complicated to type consistently, without overlooking options or typing them incorrectly.
That's why you need to learn about shell aliases!
They let you create short, punchy, and memorable names for commands and command pipelines, no matter how complicated they are. In this episode, you'll learn more about them, and how to create, list, and remove them, both temporarily and permanently.
