hello friends,

I am looking for a way to do what I described in the title. When running command command, I dont want to have to type SOME_ENV_VAR=value command every time, especially if there are multiple.

I am sure youre immediately thinking aliases. My issue with aliases is that if I do this for several programs, my .bashrc will get large and messy quickly. I would prefer a way to separate those by program or application, rather than put them all in one file.

Is there a clean way to do this?

    You can source other files inside aliases.sh or as @treadful noted .bash_aliases

    .bash_aliases:

    source .aliases/program_x.sh source .aliases/program_y.sh

    This way you can have a file with aliases for each application or group of applications.

    But it would be helpful if you provided more information on what you really want to do. Read https://xyproblem.info/
