Create a bash file .aliases in your home directory (or change the gist accordingly)
source ~/.aliases (or your own filepath)
create aliases, e.g. alias ssh-pi='ssh pi@192.168.1.255' # ssh into your raspberry pi
type alias-ls and it should show all of your aliases and their corresponding description/action
