Alias

if you are like me and you are always typing the same thing over and over on terminal. You might as well use alias aka shortcuts

I use zsh as my shell so I would go to .zshrc config file to add my personal alias.

so whenever I want to edit my zshrc
I just add this simple text

alias zshconfig='vim ~/.zshrc'

so when I am in my terminal, I just type zshconfig and it would automatically run the command.

I like to clear my terminal a lot and go back to Home, so instead of typing clear && cd

I made this shortcut

alias cclear='clear && cd'

now i just type in cclear and it does both commands for me automatically.

If you forget what aliases you have, go into terminal and type alias

Hope this helps!
