- Alias is a shortcut to reference a command.
 - It can be used to avoid typing long commands that are frequently used.
 - For common patterns it can reduce keystrokes and improve efficiency.
 
A user want to delete a file with confirm delete option for that we type
rm -i file.txt
remove file.txt? y
But some time we forgot to write -i , to avoid this such issue we use alias.
