3.3 Working with aliases
#########################

We can automate a lot of our work, by running multiple commands at the same time. Aliases are another way to make your life easier.

In Linux, an alias is a shortcut that references a command. An ``alias`` replaces a string that invokes a command in the Linux shell with another user-defined string.

.. code-block:: bash

	# same file we modified it for paths
	vim ~/.bashrc

	alias bang='git status && git add --all && git commit -m '
	alias bing='git push'
	. ~/.bashrc

	# when we run the command will be
	bang "Commit message"; bing

=============================================================
Create a script that runs the same functionalities as aliases
=============================================================

Create a script, add executable permission edit content

.. code-block:: bash
	
	touch gitPush && chmod +x gitPush && vim gitPush

.. code-block:: bash

	# !/usr/bin/env bash

	if [[ $# -eq 1 ]]; then
