## 7 Aliases

Aliases allow a string to be substituted for a word when it is used as the first word of a simple command.

For example an alias of `myls=ls --colors=auto --directories-first` will issue `ls --colors=auto --directories-first` every time you issue `myls`.

In the BashStyle-NG UI you can define up to nine aliases in `name=prog` form.

In ~/.bashrc or ~/.bashstyle.custom you can define as many as desired in `alias name=prog` form.
