Creating a bash routine

Question

Everytime I log in into my work machine, I have to open a terminal and type the same routine:

$ cd /Documents/some_folder/some_another_folder
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

I'd like these commands to execute one after another, by just typing something like $ initvm.

I thought about creating an alias for the $ cd call inside .bashrc but then I thought about doing the 3 of them in 1 function or similar. Thing is I am not sure where to define this:

1. Define the routine in a initvm.sh file and alias that file inside .bashrc
2. Define the routine inside .bashrc

Can I get some directions on this please?

Answer 1

I think you can simply create one new alias in your .bashrc file, e.g.:

alias go='cd /Documents/some_folder/some_another_folder && vagrant up && vagrant ssh'

Answer 2

Just add those commands to your .bashrc file one line for each command if you want them executed everytime you open the bash .

Otherwise use the answer from SnY and mind the single quotes to have to enter the alias to execute the commands.
