In Unix based operating systems it is quit easily create your own convenient commands using alias. This is particularly helpful when you use certain shell commands in a regular basis. To create alias
list you should create or edit ~/.bashrc. Here is how you do it.

cd
vim .bashrc
If the file exists you can scroll down to the bottom and press i to insert some aliases
alias la = 'ls -al'
alias ll = 'ls -l'
alias dfile = 'rm -f'
alias dfolder = 'rm -rf'
alias md = 'mkdir'
alias v = 'vim'
alias c = 'clear'
alias ll = 'ls -l'
alias dfile = 'rm -f'
alias dfolder = 'rm -rf'
alias md = 'mkdir'
alias v = 'vim'
alias c = 'clear'
Hit Esc, type :wq and hit Return to exist Vim editor.
The above aliases to be binding, you have to start the Terminal.app

You can temporarily deactivate an alias using unalias command.
