Decorating bash aliases to print the underlying command

.bashrc

# prints the underlying command for an alias
function print_alias() {
  BLUE="\033[1;34m" # Light Blue
  NC='\033[0m' # No Color
  printf ">>> Running ${BLUE}$(alias $@ | cut -d"'" -f2 | cut -d";" -f2- | cut -d'&' -f3-| xargs)${NC}\n"
}
