alias

Create aliases - words that are replaced by a command string. Aliases expire with the current shell session unless defined in the shell's configuration file, e.g. ~/.bashrc for Bash or ~/.zshrc for Zsh. See also: unalias. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-alias.
