how to replace the sudo apt-get install command with sagi

Installing applications with terminal commads is pretty easy and often faster than opening up the software center and searching the application in there.

sudo apt-get install $PACKETNAME

The only hard part is typing sudo apt-get install again and again ;)
If you want to replace sudo apt-get install with a shorter command like "sagi" you have got to download this script . Now open up a terminal and move the script to your home folder and make it invisible using this command.

mv ~/downloads/pastie-1907126.sh ~/.sagi

Open the file ~/.bashrc with this command:

gedit ~/.bashrc

Add this line to the end of the file:

source ~/.sagi

Restart the terminal and you are good to go! You can now use sagi instead of sudo apt-get install, with tab-completion for package names!

dende hat gesagt…: But tab-completion does not work with the alias, does it? If you can tab complete the packages, your method would be superior of course!; 9. September 2011 um 04:14
