Linux Tips & Tricks - Using alias

Linux Tips & Tricks - Using alias

While alias is a great way to shorten commonly used commands, I rarely recommend that people do so. Why? Because those alias' won't be on any other system you might use and it's easy to forget the syntax of the original commands they replaced. I especially don't recommend this for consultants and admins that work on a lot of other systems for this reason. It becomes a crutch that you will not have anywhere but on your machines.
However, I've posted this anyway because there are certainly cases where it's very useful. Just be careful to use them sparingly, only where necessary, and only on systems that you use constantly.
