In Mac OS System 7 and later, an alias is a small file that represents another object in a local, remote, or removablefile system and provides a dynamic link to it; the target object may be moved or renamed, and the alias will still link to it (unless the original file is recreated; such an alias is ambiguous and how it is resolved depends on the version of OS X). In Windows, a "shortcut", a file with a .lnk extension, performs a similar function.
It is similar to the Unix symbolic link, but with the distinction of working even if the target file moves to another location on the same disk (in this case it acts like hard link, but the source and target of the link may be on different filesystems). As a descendant of BSD, OS X supports Unix symbolic (and hard) links as well.
An alias acts as a stand-in for any object in the file system, such as a document, an application, a folder, a hard disk, a network share or removable medium or a printer. When double-clicked, the computer will act the same way as if the original file had been double-clicked. Likewise, choosing an alias file from within a 'File Open' dialog box would open the original file. The purpose of an alias is to assist the user in managing large numbers of files by providing alternative ways to access them without having to copy the files themselves. While a typical alias under the classic Mac OS was small, between 1 and 5 KB, under OS X it can be fairly large, more than 5000 KB for the alias to a folder.
Mac OS is a series of graphical user interface–based operating systems developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh line of computer systems.
The original operating system was first introduced in 1984 as being integral to the original Macintosh, and referred to as the "System". Referred to by its major revision starting with "System 6" and "System 7", Apple rebranded version 7.6 as "Mac OS" as part of their Macintosh clone program in 1996. The Macintosh, specifically its system software, is credited with having popularized the early graphical user interface concept.
There are two architectural legacies of Mac OS. Up to major revision 9, from 1984 to 2000, it is historically known as Classic Mac OS. Major revision 10, from 2001 to present, is branded OS X (originally referred to as Mac OS X). Both legacies share a general interface design, and there has been some overlap of application frameworks for compatibility; but the two systems have different origins and use deeply different architectures.
OS X (pronounced /oʊˌɛsˈtɛn/, oh-ess-TEN; originally Mac OS X) is a series of Unix-based graphical interface operating systems (OS) developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It is designed to run on Macintosh computers, having been pre-installed on all Macs since 2002. OS X is the fourth most popular general purpose OS; within the market of desktop, laptop and home computers, and by web usage, OS X is the second most widely used desktop OS after Windows.
OS X was the successor to Mac OS 9, released in 1999, the final release of the "classic" Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. The first version released was Mac OS X Server 1.0 in 1999; a desktop version, Mac OS X v10.0 "Cheetah" followed on March 24, 2001. All consumer releases of OS X up to 2013 were named after big cats; for example, OS X v10.8 was referred to as "Mountain Lion". However, with the announcement of OS X Mavericks in June 2013, this was dropped in favor of Californian landmarks.
OS X, whose X is the Roman numeral for 10 and is a prominent part of its brand identity, is built on technologies developed at NeXT between the second half of the 1980s and Apple's purchase of the company in late 1996. The 'X' is also used to emphasize the relatedness between OS X and UNIX. UNIX 03 certification has been achieved for versions 10.5 for Intel CPUs, and versions 10.6 through 10.11.iOS, the mobile OS for the iPhone, iPod Touch,iPad, and the 2nd and 3rd generation Apple TV, shares the Unix-based core and many frameworks with OS X. An unnamed variant of v10.4 powers the first generation Apple TV. Apple also formerly issued a separate line of editions for server use.

In this episode on Jordan's Tech Show, I will show you how to create aliases (which are equivalent to shortcuts in Windows) to applications, files and folder in Mac OS X using the built-in menu. This tutorial was recorded on a Macbook Air with Mac OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite installed. But it should also work for the other versions. By Jordan's Tech Show - Jordan Fung
Wie kann ich mir auf meinem Mac oder Macbook eine Dateiverknüpfung erstellen? Apple nennt Verknüpfungen Alias. Gemeint sind damit Verweise auf Dateien, Ordner oder Programme. Über einen Alias können Sie z.B. vom Mac Schreibtisch aus schnell auf Ihre Dateien, Dokumente oder Apps zugreifen, ohne Ihre ursprüngliche Datei- und Ordnerstruktur zu zerstören. Praktisch für schnelleres Arbeiten am Mac. Im Video Tutorial zeige ich Mac Anfängern wie es geht. Viel Spaß beim Nachmachen! Diese Mac-Anleitung für Anfänger noch einmal nachlesen: http://www.appletutorials.de/windows-mac/wie-man-unter-mac-os-x-eine-datei-verknuepfung-erstellt.html
This is a brief tutorial on how to create an alias to launch a program through the command line/terminal or to create an alias to system commands...which I didn't really cover much. you could say to alias the system command "ls" alias ls="list" and that would do the trick
