 ====== Using Aliases in CentOS ====== ====== Using Aliases in CentOS ======

-Aliases are a way of assinging a complex command to an easy to remember word. Looking at the command below: +
-\\  +
-        ip addr |grep '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' +
-\\  +
-This returns just the IP part of the output from an //**ip addr**// command, making the output much easier to read, however remembering and typing the command requires more effort than it saves. For this then we can create an alias. +
-\\  +
-\\  +
-I want an alias called **showip** that acutally does the same as typing ip addr |grep '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' +
-\\  +
-\\  +
-You need to edit the .bash file for the logged in user who will use this alias. I am logged in as root, so I will edit that bash file.\  +
-\\  +
-Navigate to root: +
-\\  +
-     cd /root +
-\\  +
-Show the list of files: +
-\\  +
-     ls -al to show file list, you will see a list of files, including one called .bashrc\\  +
-\\  +
-Edit the .bashrc file by entering: +
-\\  +
-      sudo nano /root/.bashrc +
-\\  +
-My default .bashrc file looks like this: +
-\\  +
-    # ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. +
-    # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc) +
