Creating an Alias

To use the script as a usual command, you can create an alias. Here's an example:

1. Open the terminal.
2. Edit the shell configuration file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `~/.bash_profile`).
3. Add the following line at the end of the file:

   ```bash
   $ alias downloader="path/to/script.sh"
   ```

4. Save the file and exit the editor.
5. Reload the shell configuration by running: `source ~/.bashrc` (or `source ~/.bash_profile`).
6. You can now use the script by simply typing `downloader` in the terminal.
