From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could source an
aliases.shfile on your .bashrc where you define your aliases, so that they don't fill up your bashrc.For example, in your bashrc:
source ~/.aliases.shThis way you could also create a file with aliases per program.
FYI:
$HOME/.bash_aliasesis standard and most distros'.bashrcwill source that file by default.Most Debian based distros, actually.
And at least arch. Probably others.
That's a good idea, but it only makes the problem a little better. I still wouldn't want one large aliases.sh file with environment variables for every application I customized. Would rather have them separate somehow without gobbling up a file
You can source other files inside
aliases.shor as @treadful noted.bash_aliases.bash_aliases:source .aliases/program_x.shsource .aliases/program_y.shThis way you can have a file with aliases for each application or group of applications.
But it would be helpful if you provided more information on what you really want to do. Read https://xyproblem.info/
