Bash aliases are used to create shorter versions of more complex commands that would otherwise be too long and tedious to type in. In this case, we see aliases for commands that are focussed on operating a lightning node.
Rather than simply adding all these aliases to your .bash_aliases, consider reading through them carefully, and testing them out first to understand what they do.
