command line aliases to make repeated processes quicker. I’ve used them in the past and on specific programs but never on command line utilities.

like for instance with Debian, I’m repeatedly typing sudo apt-get install, so I aliased it: alias sagi=“sudo apt-get install” and it works pretty good.

Are there any best practices or aliases to avoid when using them? Other than known commands obviously. Are there popular alias lists out there?

    I alias most common git commands because they’re so frequent. Like co for git checkout.
