what can break when you alias standard system command name to some random program downloaded from the internet.


one-liners you copy and paste!

no seriously, when you properly alias something in your .bashrc, they only take effect in an interactive shell.

ie: an `alias ll='ls -halF' in your bashrc does not work if you do `bash -c 'll' nor `./fileThatContainsll`
