Use 'Alias'es as Shortcuts

'Alias'es act as shortcuts on your *NIX environment.

For bash, update your /home/username/.bash_profile file like so -

alias mvc='mvn clean'
alias mvi='mvn clean install'
alias tl='tail -f /apps/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/myProfile/logs/server1/myapp.log'

You can see how you can save many keystrokes by using alias.
