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:

    It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
