MODERATORS
My aliases all involve updating Docker containers or managing VPN and SSH connections to the laptop that hosts them.
I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by "I’ve used them in the past and on specific programs but never on command line utilities". What's an example of an alias you used outside CLIs?
CAD programs that have command line utilities, old text based games in the 90s had aliases and they were used a lot. I had just never thought to use them in BASH for some reason.
