Helpful bash aliases for true professionals.

.aliases

If you use the terminal on a daily basis, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to execute your commands with only a few keystrokes that ultimately get hardcoded into muscle memory.

This repository is an easy to install project that contains a growing list of aliases for different frameworks and tools that works on any *nix system.

The project was started with passion by the Algotech Software Engineering Team.
