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 ../../..'
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.
mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }
Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.
My app keeps crashing. That’s the older version of my alias.
mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }
Uuuuh needed this one so many times.
alias ta="tmux attach -t"
I’m always thinking of using tmux for tilling.
alias ll=“ls - l”
My most-used, by far, for decades.
This and
alias la="ls -lhA"
In addition to this, I have
lat
&las
with-t
&-s
sorting added respectively.
For just a second I thought this was Loss
I always set these because I’ve been burned too many times:
Turn on interactive mode for dangerous commands
alias cp='cp -iv' alias mv='mv -iv' alias rm='rm -iv'
Not exactly an alias but a short script. First, get git-revise which is a replacement for
git rebase
, and fzf if for some reason you don’t have it yet. Then make a script in your~/.local/bin
calledgit-f
or whatever you’d like:#!/bin/bash REF=${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 fi
Now 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 -p
to add the relevant lines, but then instead of making a fixup commit just typegit f
and pick the target commit from the list.Here are mine. Sorry for the mouth full, but I think people may benefit from some of these :)

Good luck, I’m dogshit at maintaining the comments lol
Very nice
A couple of these are quite useful for me, thank you. I finally installed bat.
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.
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'
I made a cool exercise some time ago: checking my top 10 used commands, to see how I can “optimize” them, and maybe create a few aliases to save a few keystrokes. Turns out I don’t need that much aliases in the end:
alias v='vis' # my text editor alias sv='doas vis' alias ll='ls -l'
And that’s pretty much it ^^ I do have a lot of scripts though, some of them being one-liners, but it makes them shell independent, which I like :)
For reference, here is my analysis of my top 10 most used commands.
edit: I do have a bunch of git aliases though for common subcommands I use. I prefer using them as
git <alias>
over using she’ll specific aliases so I can always type “git
” and not mentally think wether I need a git command or a shell alias.Vis nether heard of this editor
Then you should definitely check it out: vis.
Its original goal was to be a vim clone with 90% of the features in 10% of the code. Then it grew into being the bastard son of Vim and Sam editors (plan9’s structural regex based editor).
The result is vis, an editor with vim like navigation and text manipulation mechanics, but with access to Sam’s powerful structural regex commands which works selection wise, rather than likewise like vim. Check this paper to learn about it: struct-regex.pdf.
alias et='emacsclient -ct' alias ec='emacsclient -cn' alias make='make --warn-undefined-variables'
Technically not aliases but I have these in my ~/.bash_aliases so…
bind ‘“\e[A”: history-search-backward’
bind ‘“\e[B”: history-search-forward’Type a few letters and press up/down arrow to scroll through matching history entries.
Also…
alias s=“cd -”
It’s like Alt+Tab for CLI.
alias x=“exit”
^D
my dude.I use mostly :q for that XD
I do this but with
xx
because I’m too scared
