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 My personal most used is
alias please=sudo !!
basically, if you run a command and forget to sudo, you can say please to get the computer to do it.

I've seen that, but never used it myself.

My ex-infosec background makes it such that I'm always quite aware of when I do and don't want/need to use root privileges. ;)
