= Alias (Mac OS)
{wiki=Alias_(Mac_OS)}
An Alias in macOS is a type of shortcut that provides a quick way to access a file, folder, or application without needing to navigate to its original location on your hard drive. When you create an alias, it creates a small file that points to the original item but does not duplicate the content itself. You can create an alias in macOS by right-clicking (or Control-clicking) on an item and selecting "Create Alias" from the context menu.
