Get all aliases in Linux shell

How to list all aliases defined in a shell?

Like the command below to list all files/folders in a directory.

I have defined some aliases in ~/.bashrc that I want to list.

ls in a directory

Are you wondering if you have a UNIX alias already set for a specific command?

You can find it easily by issuing this on the command line:

alias

This command will list all aliases currently set for your shell session.

You can use the compgen command as follows:

compgen -a
  • compgen empowers you to list all your defined aliases, functions and commands.

Another option would be alias command itself.

alias

Just type alias in terminal? This should give you all active aliases.

For example:

$alias
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'
alias ga='git add'
alias gc='git commit'
alias gitlg='git log --graph --pretty=format:'\''%Cred%h%Creset -
%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset'\'' --abbrev-
commit'
alias gs='git st'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias ls='ls -F --color=auto --show-control-chars'
