Creating aliases for pylibgen

I'm too lazy! If I open a terminal, I don't want type python3 pylibgen.py -a Julian Osorno

The best way for download books from Library Genesis is editing .bashrc and add one line like this:

• alias library-genesis='python3 /home/blackout/.library-genesis/pylibgen.py'

Thats all.

Happy Reading!
