What are your most liked alias for long commands or just to give them better names.
Mine are:
alias load="source .load.sh"
alias eload="$EDITOR .load.sh"
alias gpush="git push"
alias gadd="git add --all"
alias gcommit="git commit -m "
alias gst="git status -s"
alias gpull="git pull"
alias ..='cd ..'AmigaOS style!
My variant (u mean “up” in my head)
alias u ='cd ..' alias uu ='cd ../..' alias uuu='cd ../../..'

Uuuuh needed this one so many times.
alias weather=‘curl wttr.in’
I found a function version of this version somewhere. Same thing except it defaults to my local area but can be overridden if you specify a different zip code.
weather() { if [ $(command -v curl) ]; then if ! (($#)); then curl wttr.in/44113 else curl wttr.in/$1 fi else echo "curl not installed. Aborting." fi }That is really neat. I never knew I needed that.
alias ll=“ls - l”
My most-used, by far, for decades.
For just a second I thought this was Loss
This and
alias la="ls -lhA"In addition to this, I have
lat&laswith-t&-ssorting added respectively.
Not exactly an alias but a short script. First, get git-revise which is a replacement for
git rebase, and fzf if for some reason you don’t have it yet. Then make a script in your~/.local/bincalledgit-for whatever you’d like:#!/bin/bash REF=${1:-origin/main} # adjust to your favorite trunk branch name COMMIT=$(git log --pretty=oneline ${REF}.. \ | fzf --preview "git show -p --stat {+1}" | cut -d' ' -f1) if [ -n "$COMMIT" ]; then exec git revise "$COMMIT" else exit 1 fiNow hack away in a branch, make some commits, and at some point you will realize you want to modify an earlier commit. Use
git add -pto add the relevant lines, but then instead of making a fixup commit just typegit fand pick the target commit from the list.alias ta="tmux attach -t"I’m always thinking of using tmux for tilling.
I always set these because I’ve been burned too many times:
Turn on interactive mode for dangerous commands
alias cp='cp -iv' alias mv='mv -iv' alias rm='rm -iv'I use this function to launch GUI apps from the shell without occupying that shell or cluttering it with their output:
nown() { if [ -n "$1" ] then nohup $@ &> /dev/null & disown else echo "Don't give me a null command dumbass." fi }I maybe will steal that for myself.
Good luck, I’m dogshit at maintaining the comments lol
Very nice
alias clearswap='sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a' alias grep='grep --color=auto' alias ls='ls --color=auto --group-directories-first' alias la='ls -lAh --color=auto --group-directories-first' alias timestamp='date +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S'alias upd=“yay -Syu --devel”
alias cleanup=“yay -Qdtq | yay -Rns-”
alias mirror=“sudo reflector --verbose --country ‘United States’ --protocol https --latest 15 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && sudo eos-rankmirrors”
alias fuck='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'Just use
sudo !!yeah, I could do that. Kinda prefer to use my alias anyway as the expletive is almost always the first word that comes to mind when I forget to sudo something
Can’t argue with that but it reminds me of thefuck which is similar but does more
thanks for that link!! I’m going to try it out :)
become="sudo su -" pb="ansible-playbook"I don’t use aliases. Since I use
fishas a login shell, I use abbreviations. I have a lot of them configured. But I think my favorite one isyeetwhich expands toparu -Rcns.What a nice abbreviation of the conventional way of declaring the minimanalasation of a command. I need to check out fish but i don’t really know about it so much.
*ahem
alias brb='paru -Syu --noconfirm && paru -Sc --noconfirm'You should name it alias btw=… to fully embrace our stereotype ;).
