For example if I have a setup like:

 alias llaa = pwd && ll'''

Will the second command work, or would I have to set it up in a more verbose manner (like ```alias llaa = pwd && ls -la```)

    Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:

    alias llaa='pwd && ll'
    

    then ran llaa and it did what I expected, current directory and the output of ls -al which is aliased.

    I think you don’t want the spaces around the= sign. Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

      Again what learned. What is wrong with having spaces around the equals sign, though?
