Aliases

2026-04-05

I’ve recently had the need to get in and out of a couple configs often enough that it got annoying having to write the commands over and over. Something I’ve run into a handful of times were suggestions to alias some commands. After realizing I might have a new to get in and out of these config files I decided to just alias the commands.

This has been working out great! instead of “nano ~/.config/i3/config” I edited my .bash_aliases file and added one for “i3config”. Amazing. I did the same for a couple others.

The best one has been for Newsboat. When I want to throw an RSS link in my urls file, I don’t need to remember the file path or go look it up to remember - I have “newsboatconfig” now.
