How to make it such that, when running `command`, it automatically does `SOME_ENV_VAR=value command`? (something cleaner than aliases?)
  • You can source other files inside aliases.sh or as @treadful noted .bash_aliases

    .bash_aliases:

    source .aliases/program_x.sh source .aliases/program_y.sh

    This way you can have a file with aliases for each application or group of applications.

    But it would be helpful if you provided more information on what you really want to do. Read https://xyproblem.info/

  • You could source an aliases.sh file on your .bashrc where you define your aliases, so that they don't fill up your bashrc.

    For example, in your bashrc:

    source ~/.aliases.sh

    This way you could also create a file with aliases per program.
