  Or better yet add color: WARNING: REPLACE ASTERISK with the ATERISK character, keeps italicizing alias facts="echo -ne '\033[36m'; curl -s randomfunfacts.com | grep '<i>' | sed 's/.ASTERISK<i>\(.ASTERISK\)<\/i>.*/\1/'; echo -ne '\033[0m'; tput sgr0" And run it in BG so we don't have to wait for call to website before we pull alias gpl="( facts ); git pull"
