====== BASH - Aliases ======

A Bash **alias** allows the user to launch any command or group of commands (including options and filenames) by entering a single word.

Aliases are very convenient to use for frequently used commands.

----

===== Example =====

An alias **c** is created against **clear** command.

<code bash>
alias c='clear'`
</code>

Instead of needing to type the word **clear** to clear the screen, the letter **c** can now be used instead (with the [ENTER] key).

<code bash>
c
</code>
