How to make an “alias” for a long path?

Question

I tried to make an \"alias\" for a path that I use often while shell scripting. I tried something, but it failed:

myFold=\"~/Files/Scripts/Main\"
cd myFold
         


        

Answer 1

but an actual alias for a dir is also possible, try

 myScripts="~/Files/Scripts/Main"
 alias myScripts="cd $myScripts"

This way you have a common naming convention (for each dir/alias pair), and if you need to copy something from the current dir to myScripts, you don't have to think about it.
