So i want to run a script that requires me to input the name of a file.
For example:
/userthatisnotme/bin/move filename
So I want to make it easier for me to remember, so I can just type move filename instead of that whole path.
How can I do this?
In your bash_profile (or other shell profile script):
Examples of aliases for ls here: http://github.com/adamv/dotfiles/blob/master/bashrc#L45
The “parameters” get placed after the alias name. For more complicated situations, you could make a shell function instead of an alias.
