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```)For example if I have a setup like:

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?
I think it might not work with the spaces. But if it does, then you are fine.
Ah, obviously you’re right and bash is less tolerant to spaces than I’ve had in my mind:
