# alias
> Create aliases - words that are replaced by a command string.
> Aliases expire with the current shell session unless defined in the shell's configuration file, e.g. `~/.bashrc`.
> More information: <https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/aliases.html>.
- List all aliases:
`alias`
- Create a generic alias:
`alias {{word}}="{{command}}"`
- View the command associated to a given alias:
`alias {{word}}`
- Remove an aliased command:
`unalias {{word}}`
- Turn `rm` into an interactive command:
`alias {{rm}}="{{rm --interactive}}"`
- Create `la` as a shortcut for `ls --all`:
`alias {{la}}="{{ls --all}}"`
