Alias with variable in bash [duplicate]

by

I’d create a function for that, rather than alias, and then exported it, like this:

function tail_ls { ls -l "$1" | tail; }

export -f tail_ls

Note -f switch to export: it tells it that you are exporting a function. Put this in your .bashrc and you are good to go.
