I seem to be one of very few people that does not use shell aliases. I much prefer just using the reverse history search for previous commands instead. That way I don't have to remember what letter I picked for different things, just ctrl+r then partially type out the command and I can see what it will execute. Bonus that I don't need to set them up before hand and that I can edit them before executing them for those times when I need to do something slightly different.
Any time a shell alias would be useful, i have to setup an equivalent of a makefile anyway. My current setup has no aliases active, for the same reasons as you
I have so many
Makefiles. But I refuse to acknowledge that I might have a problem.I've been
cleanfrom usingautoreconffor almost a decade, at least.
