* Some basic commands
 
===Example ~/.bash_aliases===
 
‎<pre>
#!/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"
‎</pre>
 
 
 
In order to make this effective, make sure that the following lines are in your ~/.bashrc
 
‎<pre>
if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then
        . ~/.bash_aliases
fi
</pre>
