What will you do when egrep is completely removed?

Use echo 'grep -E "$@"' > /usr/bin/egrep, ie double quote the $@

or, better yet, you could modify your scripts that use the obsolete egrep so that they use grep -E instead. egrep has been deprecated for decades now, that's more than enough time to stop using it.

after a quick search, I realized that I can just make alias egrep="grep -E" in .bashrc since alias is prioritized over $PATH from unix.stackexchange.com/a/132628/477417
