Alias (command) - Typical Aliases

Typical Aliases

Some commonly used, but deprecated, aliases in the Bash shell:

alias ls='ls --color=auto' # use colors alias la='ls -Fa' # list all files alias ll='ls -Fls' # long listing format alias rm='rm -i' # prompt before overwrite (but dangerous, see Rm for a better approach) alias cp='cp -i' # prompt before overwrite (same general problem as the rm) alias mv='mv -i' # prompt before overwrite (same general problem as the rm) alias vi='vim' # use improved vi editor

Standard aliases of Windows PowerShell include:

new-alias cd set-location new-alias ls get-childitem new-alias dir get-childitem new-alias echo write-output new-alias ps get-process new-alias kill stop-process

Famous quotes containing the word typical:

    The books may say that nine-month-olds crawl, say their first words, and are afraid of strangers. Your exuberantly concrete and special nine-month-old hasn’t read them. She may be walking already, not saying a word and smiling gleefully at every stranger she sees. . . . You can support her best by helping her learn what she’s trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.
    Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
