I have a long path to some of my files and I don't want to type and/or use the Tab-key as much when using it with commands in the Terminal.
So I want to add "shortcuts" to some of them (both files and directories), e.g.
replace
ls folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/
with something like
ls folder1234
and
replace
cat folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/my_super_very_long_amazing_filename.txt
with something like
cat long_path_and_filename.txt
(but obviously shorter :))
or if it's not possible, then with two "replace commands" like
cat folder1234/short_filename
Are any of the above possible?
Can you use the ln
command or maybe the alias
command?
