Question

I want to know how to configure your environment to execute some command with specific params everytime you use it.
So, if I have a command named:

spec

I want to know where I configure my bash to always use:

spec -c –format nested

instead of just ‘spec’

I tried to put this like an alias on my .bashrc file, like:

alias spec=’spec -c –format pretty’

but didn’t work.
Any tip?

Answer 1

Did you remember to execute your .bashrc after editing it?

. ~/.bashrc will do it.

Also, your two commands don’t match. You have “nested” in one and “pretty” in the other.
