To creata a Linux terminal alias you add the alias to the .bashrc file in your home directory.
These are the aliases I am currently using:

# custom aliases
alias gs='git status'
alias pers='cd /home/zl22291@bristol.ac.uk/Documents/Projects/Personal-webpage/dylandijk.github.io/'
alias projs='cd /home/zl22291@bristol.ac.uk/Documents/Projects/'
alias be='bundle exec'
alias checkall='find . -name .git -type d -execdir sh -c '\''git status --porcelain | grep -q "^ M" && echo -e "\\033[0;31m${PWD}\\033[0m"'\'' \;'
alias copypwd='pwd | xclip -sel clip'
alias open='nautilus .'
