I always take the later route, using scripts in favor of aliases. I
never really liked using aliases. I don't like changing the behavior of
commands that already exist, as that tends to break other things.
"Alias" is sort of a misnomer since you can create a new syntactic sugar-like
command instead of changing the behavior of an existing one. I've had these
in my .bashrc for over 10 years now:
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'
....and I don't believe you can write a script named ".." without a lot of
fooling around....
What happens though when you try to use the real command? Does it result in:
$ cd cd ..
?
