Friends,

Is it possible within Linux CLI on Ubuntu to create a script that executes a specific command?

I'm not sure how to call this, but I think it's best explained by an example:

Let's say when I write "checkMyCurl" in the command line, it would exec a "curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://www.something.com/" command and output the result. Basically I'm just trying to bind a simple command to execute a larger command so that I wouldn't have to write the complicated command all the time.

Thank you! :)

For this case, you could use a simple shell alias - see Aliases in the GNU Bash documentation – steeldriver Nov 19 '22 at 14:15
@steeldriver this worked perfectly and was exactly what I was looking for! Awesome! – masch1na Nov 19 '22 at 14:31
@masch1na you're welcome - see also In Bash, when to alias, when to script, and when to write a function? – steeldriver Nov 19 '22 at 14:40
