I'm not saying you should all go out and set up aliases to enable your various typos and slip-ups, but I honestly don't know why I didn't do this 25 years ago.

alias cd..='cd ..'

#bash #UNIX #Shell #UnixShell #POSIX

@rl_dane I think SUSE Linux had that one in the late 90s, definitely a nice one :-)
(and in that case, it was also a transition aid for people coming from the DOS/Windows world where that always works)

Oh, that's right, I remember wondering, "Why isn't there an md?!?"

I also used to have aliases that made fun of my typos, like

alias flaptak='echo "flaptak?!? lol!!!"; sleep 1; flatpak'

;)
