# Aliases 

Aliases in your terminal make shortcuts a lot easier when you're typing, use them properly

- Setting #1 : default text  editor alias since my editor of  choice is [BBEdit](obsidian://open?vault=Coding%20Tips&file=Computers%2FMac%20OS%20X%2FBBEdit%2FBBEdit): 
  
``alias bbedit "open -a bbedit"``
  
then in the terminal type  
  
``bbedit FILE_NAME``
