How to change pip3 command to be pip?

Question

I uninstalled pip, and I installed pip3 instead. Now, I want to use pip3 by typing pip only. The reason is I am used to type pip only and every guide uses the pip command, so every time I want to copy and paste commands, I have to modify pip to pip3 which wastes time. When I type pip I have an error which is pip: command not found which means pip command is not taken. Is it possible to make pip points to pip3?

Answer 1

you can either add alias to your ~/.bashrc

alias pip=pip3

or add to your $PATH symlink named pip pointing to pip3 binary

(btw, this even though concerning pip isn't really python related question, so you should retag it)

Update: July 2020

If there is no ~/.bashrc in your home directory on macOS, inputting

alias pip=pip3

in your ~/.zprofile file has the same effect,
