alias: Remove an aliased command.
$ unalias ${word}
try on your machine
The command unalias ${word}
is used to remove an alias associated with the specified ${word}
.
Aliases are shortcuts or alternate names for commands in a shell environment. They allow users to create their own customized commands or abbreviations for frequently used commands.
In the context of this command, ${word}
represents a variable that holds the name of the alias that needs to be removed. By using the unalias
command followed by the variable ${word}
, the specified alias is unset, effectively removing it from the list of aliases.
For example, if you have an alias named ll
set to execute the ls -l
command, running unalias ll
will remove that alias, and from that point onwards, ll
will no longer shortcut to ls -l
.
