I don't have many aliases set up in my .bash_aliases file just yet. Only recently have I discovered how useful they can be.
I can see myself getting quite hooked on aliases so before the file gets too unwieldy I'd like to clarify something by asking a very simple question. Does one alias affect another, or does the alias always revert back to the original command?
An example may make this more clear:
ls aliased to
ls -lF. Let's say I'd like to also alias
ls -l | grep -E "^d": does
d now use
ls -lF in place of
ls? If so, is it a matter of order in the .bash_aliases configuration file?
man alias didn't enlighten me.
