So I have a bunch of files that I use for testing in a directory with a long path so say there are 10 files located at /home/grammin/testFiles/program1/important/. What I would like to do is have something in my bashrc? maybe that is like fileDir = /home/grammin/testFiles/program1/important/ and then whenever I would like to access a specific file on the command line all i have to do is type something like ls fileDir/FILE1. Thanks for the help.
