Handy commands

If you start getting tired of typing the same command over and over again, the alias command is for you.
For example if you want to connect to your pi through ssh you have to type

ssh pi@[my_name].duckdns.org

You can shorten this significantly by using the alias command:

alias mypi='ssh pi@[my_name].duckdns.org'

After this, you only have to type

mypi

to connect to your pi over SSH. Like this you can create all kinds of shortcuts.

These commands are active during your session, if you want to make the persistent, you need to add the command to .bashrc

vi ~/.bashrc
