Why "alias" is my last resort for aliases

I prefer scripts to real aliases when defining a custom command.

I’ve done something similiar to this over the years for organization purposes and not having to change much between shells except add a path. You can also add cases that check your shell and do something slightly different if needed.

    that’s actually a really good argument for not using either.

    Taking a step back discussing shells seems like a never ending hell loop.

    Sometimes the only way to win is not to play the game.

    Use python and stop being stuck in the distant past.
