executing aliases from a file 43 weeks 4 days ago

hi there, i've got this alias i want assign only sometimes, and then work in the same shell with it (so when closing the shell the alias dissapears). As the alias is long, i want it to be in a executable file, so i just execute the script from a terminal and then i can access the alias from that same terminal.

I'd like to have a file eg. f with only zsh aliases (pureness reasons). Then I'd like to include f file in my .zshrc file, so that the aliases defined in f are visible in .zshrc.

Is it possible?

If it is, I could create a script eg.

Where are aliases defined? 3 years 30 weeks ago

Hello,

Upon a fresh install of Fedora 11 (and as a Fedora n00b), I noticed there are several aliases defined for me.

Code: $ alias alias l.='ls -d .* --color=auto' alias ll='ls -l --color=auto' alias ls='ls --color=auto' alias vi='vim'

set alias in bash scripts 2 years 36 weeks ago

I tried this to set an alias:

alias lsf='ls -f'

and it works fine... But when I put it in a bash script it doesnt work.

SCRIPT:

cd ~ alias lsf='ls -F' lsf

I get the following output: line 3: lsf: command not found

Any ideas?

Suppose you have an alias go, but want it to do different things in different directories?

In one directory it should run cmd1, but in another directory it should run cmd2

By the way, I have an aliases for switching to the above directories already, so is it possible to append the go alias assignment to the foo alias?

alias "foo=cd /path/to/foo"

Working in bash(?) on OSX.

I am attempting to put some alias definitions in .bashrc. Like this:

#Convienience aliases alias ll='ls -l' alias ldir='ls -p | grep "/"' #Temporary aliases alias mvFooLog='mv ~/Projects/Foo/Log.txt .'

The last alias will work for me, but there seems to be some subtlety which is corrupting the definition of the first two.

Most of my my aliases are of this form: alias p='pwd'

I want to alias git commit so that it does git commit -v

But trying to create an alias with a space gives an error:

$ alias 'git commit'='git commit -v' -bash: alias: `git commit': invalid alias name

Let's say i have the following alias in bash - alias ls='ls --color=auto' - and i want to call ordinary ls without options. Is the only way to do that is to unalias, do the command and then alias again? Or there is some nifty trick or workaround?
