It's nice to put your aliases in a separate file, in your bin directory\\
  mkdir ~/bin
  vi ~/bin/good_bashrc_aliases
Add your preferred aliases, here are some good ones\\
  PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"'
  
  PATH=/home/pi/bin:${PATH}
  USBS=/media/pi/
  NAS=/mnt/nas/
  PS1="(\@) [\u@\h: \W]\\$ "
  alias h='history 30'
  alias ls='/bin/ls -F'
  alias ll='/bin/ls -lF'
  alias lt='/bin/ls -ltrF'
  alias la='/bin/ls -AF'
  alias lal='/bin/ls -lAF'
  alias lat='/bin/ls -lAtrF'
  alias dl='/bin/ls -lF | grep "^d"'
  alias gt='/usr/bin/gnome-terminal &'
  alias repath='source ~tdhammer/bin/.repath'
  alias reldlib='source ~tdhammer/bin/.reldlib'
  alias fnd='find . -iname '
  alias equiet='eclipse >& /dev/null &'
  alias nquiet='/usr/bin/nautilus . >& /dev/null &'
  alias ftime='echo date -s \"`date "+%d %b %Y %k:%M:%S"`\"'
  
  # setting the title/icon values
  set_term_title(){
    unset PROMPT_COMMAND
    echo -en "\033]0;$1\a"
  }
  
  dir_term_title(){
    PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"'
  }
  
  e(){
    set_term_title "$PWD:   $1"
    /usr/bin/vi "$1"
    dir_term_title
  }
  
  er(){
    set_term_title "$PWD:   $1   (read-only)"
    /usr/bin/vi -R "$1"
    dir_term_title
  }

Test your 'good_bashrc_aliases' before including it in your login process\
  . ~/bin/good_bashrc_aliases
Edit your ~/.bashrc to include aliase definitions\\
  vi ~/.bashrc
    # my local aliases
    if [ -f ~/bin/good_bashrc_aliases ]; then
      . ~/bin/good_bashrc_aliases
    fi
