You could read   man bash   from the line that starts with
ALIASES
and save yourself a lot of typing. For example, when I want
to check up on my clock synchronisation, I type:

  $ clock

Its alias is:

  alias clock='chronyc activity; echo; chronyc sourcestats; echo; chronyc sources -a -v; echo; chronyc tracking; echo; timedatectl; echo; systemctl status chrony.service'

Cheers,
David.
