They allow you to shorten long commands down into one word. To add a alias edit ~/.bashrc

nano ~/.bashrc

Then come to the bottom of that file and add your aliases like this:

alias rm = "rm -i"
alias lightyrestart = "/etc/init.d/lighttpd restart"
alias server_name="ssh -v -l USERNAME IP ADDRESS"

Then Reload your .bashrc file and your aliases should be enabled

source ~/.bashrc
