Aliases are effectively user-created command-line shortcuts. In Ubuntu, several aliases are already created to make life on the command line a little more attractive. To see what's already there, simply type:
$alias
To add more aliases, we can type something like
alias svnclean="svn st | sed "/^M/d" | sed "^/A/d" | sed "s/\?[[:space:]]*//" | xargs rm -r" (See: Tip 16: Cleaning up an SVN directory)
By default, Ubuntu also reads in a file in your home directory called .bash_aliases Simply add the line as above to that file and it will create the alias every time you start a new terminal window.
