+# How to Create a Bash Alias
+
+1. Open your .bashrc file
+
+Using a text editor, open your .bashrc file, which is typically found in your home directory.
+
+> vim ~/.bashrc
+
+### Why .bashrc?
+
+This file is loaded whenever a new bash instance is started and should included bash-specific commands, like aliases.
+
+2. Create the alias
+
+The anatomy of an alias is as follows:
+
+> alias alias_name="text to alias"
+
+Here is a common example:
+
+> alias ll="ls -lha"
+
+This means that whenever you type ll, it will be as if you had typed ls -lha.
+
+It is basically a substitution, so if you have an alias set up like this: alias g="git". Then you can type g pull, which will execute git pull.
+
+3. Reload your bashrc
+
+If you'd like to use your alias, you can either open a new bash shell, or source your .bashrc file in your current shell using:
+
+> source ~/.bashrc
+
+This basically executes everything in your .bashrc file as if you had typed each command.
