seasonal fishing, waters off Hat Thung Wua Laen, Thailand
I’ve been using my new system for half a year now and my ~/.local/bin
is already becoming (slightly) cluttered – add in a handful of aliases and scripts
tucked away in ~/.ashrc and I feel like I need to do some
re-organizing – the bash man page has the famous line that I should
be using functions instead of aliases – additionally, aliases and functions
inside ~/.ashrc aren’t available in non-interactive shells (ex.
when I call an external command with ⟨ctrl⟩-t in
nano)
For almost every purpose, aliases are superseded by shell functions.—
