From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I’ll show you mines. Inspire others or get some feedback.

Simply copy & paste the output of alias in your terminal or add some comments to explain things for others.

Edit: Kbin users, click ‘More’ on a comment and use the fediverse link to read responses that have funky formatting

    (NOTE: A lot of my more interesting “aliases” are actually short functions, but I’m keeping myself to alias.)

    Some of mine that I haven’t seen yet:
