-====== BASH - Aliases - Local vs Global ======
-Aliases can be global, i.e. apply by default to every user on the system.
-However each user can also have their own aliases which only apply to them.
-----
-===== Global Aliases =====
-Global aliases are specified in a file within the **/etc/profile.d/** directory.  The name of the file is irrelevant.
-We use **/etc/profile.d/bash_aliases.sh**.
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  The permissions of the file should have read permissions.
-For example 644.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Local Aliases =====
-Local aliases are specific to the user.
-These aliases should be defined in a file named **.bash_aliases** within a users home directory.
-  * ~/.bash_aliases
-  * ~/.bashrc
-  * ~/.bash_profile
-<file bash ~/.bash_aliases>
-alias apt='sudo apt-get'
-alias update='sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean'
-</file>
-----
-===== Enable the aliases =====
-To apply the changes immediately to your bash profile without having to log out:
-<code bash>
-~/.bash_aliases
-</code>
-or
-<code bash>
-. ~/.bashrc

-or
-<code bash>
