# alias
> Creates an alias for a word when used as the first word of a command.
> Note that these operations are not permanent, expiring when the current shell session ends.
- Create a generic alias:
`alias {{word}}="{{command}}"`
- Remove an aliased command:
`unalias {{word}}`
- List all aliased words:
`alias -p`
- Turn rm into an interactive command:
`alias {{rm}}="{{rm -i}}"`
- Create `la` as a shortcut for `ls -a`:
`alias {{la}}="{{ls -a}}"`
