Create Python alias in BASH

Raw

On some systems I find that python is not a defined command, but python3 is. Since Python 2 is no longer supported, and will hopefully become scarcer in dependencies, we can assume that python represents the latest installed Python.

Assuming python3 is defined, we can define our alias in a permanent way by:

Open config: vim ~/.bashrc
Add the line alias python='python3'
Save and exit (:wq)
Run . ~/.bashrc from home.
