I'm wondering about the purpose of using an alias. Why do people or systems choose to use a different name instead of their original one? What benefits or advantages does it offer?

An alias provides users with an alternative method to access a specific page or file within a system.

Instead of using the original path, an alias offers a different route to reach the desired destination.

This feature is particularly useful when the original path is no longer valid or has been changed.

In such cases, a redirect is often employed to send users to the correct location.

An alias also enables users to assign a nickname to their page, essentially creating a new URL that directs to the same content as the original URL.
