### Aliases

Aliases allow a string to be a used as a simple command,
any arguement passed to the alias is passed to the real command, too; eg:
..=cd ../
.. will then execute cd ../
ll=ls -l
ll $HOME/Desktop will then execute ls -l $HOME/Desktop
(Note: Define Aliases in BashStyle-NG without ' or " characters.)
