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?

    Put your aliases in .bash_aliases

    Make sure your .bashrc sources .bash_aliases like this:

    if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then . ~/.bash_aliases fi
