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"
mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }
Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.
Uuuuh needed this one so many times.
My app keeps crashing. That’s the older version of my alias.
mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }
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.
For just a second I thought this was Loss
This and
alias la="ls -lhA"
In addition to this, I have
lat
&las
with-t
&-s
sorting added respectively.
alias weather=‘curl wttr.in’
That is really neat. I never knew I needed that.
become="sudo su -" pb="ansible-playbook"
alias ..='cd ..'
My variant (u mean “up” in my head)
alias u ='cd ..' alias uu ='cd ../..' alias uuu='cd ../../..'
AmigaOS style!
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 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'
alias x=“exit”
I do this but with
xx
because I’m too scared^D
my dude.
Here are mine. Sorry for the mouth full, but I think people may benefit from some of these :)

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 $@ &> /dev/null & disown else echo "Don't give me a null command dumbass." fi }
Not exactly an alias but a short script. First, get git-revise which is a replacement for
git rebase
, and fzf if for some reason you don’t have it yet. Then make a script in your~/.local/bin
calledgit-f
or whatever you’d like:#!/bin/bash REF=${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.alias et='emacsclient -ct' alias ec='emacsclient -cn' alias make='make --warn-undefined-variables'
