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:

“Consciousness is cerebral celebrity—nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and “symptomatic” effects—on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth.”
—Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
