Aliases and local variables

DRAFT

• motivation for aliases and variables
• Brief explanation of what aliases are
• Some basic commands

Example ~/.bash_aliases

‎

#!/bin/bash
#Define editor

editor='nano' #or vim

# Bash files commands
alias ebc="${editor} ${HOME}/.bashrc"
alias sbc="source ${HOME}/.bashrc"
alias eba="${editor} ${HOME}/.bash_aliases"
alias sba="source ${HOME}/.bash_aliases"

# ls aliases
alias ll="ls -alth"
alias sl='ls'

#location variables
# Note! that the location for the lustre folders depends on your affiliation
# The <affiliation> field below is a place holder and it will break it not modified
# For WUR researchers in a commitment group it will be 
# affiliation=WUR/<group>
for external users belonging to an organization it will be
# affiliation=<nameOfOrganization>

# Modify this
affiliation=

export mySCRATCH=/lustre/scratch/$affiliation/$USER
export myBKP=/lustre/backup/GUESTS/$affiliation/$USER
export myNBKP=/lustre/nobackup/$affiliation/$USER

# 
alias cds="cd $myScratch"
alias cdb="cd $myBkp"
alias cdn="cd $myNBkp"
‎
#Apoptainer cache location
export APPTAINER_CACHEDIR=$myScratch/.apptainer-cache

In order to make this effective, make sure that the following lines are in your ~/.bashrc

‎

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
        . ~/.bash_aliases
