Create an ALIAS for a . /configure File?

I cloned the Github repository, and to execute the command I always need to type, . /directory name/vv

I imagine that this "file" is of the Linux CONFIGURE type, correct?

I wonder how I create an ALIAS on Ubuntu so that when I type only "vv" it runs this command globally from anywhere on my machine...

And if possible they could add the same process to OSX (Mac)?

Usually the alias is placed in the file ~/.bashrc, assuming you use the Bash. To edit the file, type in the terminal:

gedit ~/.bashrc

And add the alias in the end:

alias cmd='comando'

It is also possible to create a aliases separate, so you won’t have to put them on .bashrc, but in a file of your choice. First, edit the file ~/.bashrc and uncomment the following lines:

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
. ~/.bash_aliases
fi

Save and close the file. After that, all you have to do is create the file ~/.bash_aliases and add your aliases there.

  • It worked partially... I created an alias like this: alias vv='. /vv/vv' right? This VV folder is in the /home/joaopaulo/ and can only be executed if I am in the /home/joaopaulo/ I wanted to be able to execute this command from anywhere in the system, either in Documents or the Desktop, I wanted to)

    @Joãopaulo Good, if the folder vv is in your home, just indicate in the alias thus: vv='$HOME/vv/vv' should work. =)

  • @qmechanick Worked!!!! Thank you very much!!!
