How can I execute a command shortcut inside a command? For example, I have: alias cdp='cd /home/username' inside ~/.bashrc and I want to execute: mv A cdp, where A is a folder. But it doesn't work?

    You cannot use an alias as a parameter to a command. In your example, it wouldn't be meaningful anyway... Try to use shell variables instead. – FedKad Jul 02 '21 at 11:11
