From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I rawdog every single command, I use no aliases at all.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (5 children)

I couldn't even work if I had aliases in my muscle memory. Imagine ssh'ing to a server and every second command you issue doesn't exist because it's some weird alias you set up for yourself.

I'll stick with the "pure" command and use tab completion.

That's also part of the reason why I don't use some of the fancy new tools like ripgrep and exa.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I remember when Linux was first becoming cool, in the mid-to-late 90s. There was a lot of folk wisdom going around, and one of them was "make an alias rm='rm -i' so you don't accidentally delete anything!"

And then there was the (correct, IMHO) counter-wisdom of "no, that actually makes it more likely to accidentally delete something, because one day you're going to be on a machine where that alias doesn't exist, but you've become dependent on it existing".

I don't mind creating aliases to add colour or change formatting a little bit or something, but don't make an alias to keep yourself safe, because it'll probably backfire on you.

What... I didn't know this was a thing.

So I could make be "sudo gimme-dat-new-new" Instead of "sudo DNF upgrade -y"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

you can just put "gimme-dat-new-new"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

alias gimmie-dat-new-new='sudo dnf upgrade -y'

Although you should probably look over your upgrade before applying it as a general good practice. But, hey, I do this myself (dnfup instead of gimmie-dat-etc.), so I can't talk too much shit.

ETA: If you want it to be a persistent alias, though, you gotta add it to your .bashrc

That would make my shell unusable, since some plugins use ./source.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

./ and . Are two different things to your shell

(Bash-Specific)

App-Specific

alias battery='upower -i $(upower -e | grep 'BAT') | grep -E "state|to\ full|percentage"' # Get the battery level of my laptop server when I ssh into it

alias audio="yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3" # Download the audio version of a youtube video

alias wttr="curl wttr.in/Chicago" # Get the weather of my city in the terminal

Terminal Navigation

alias ba2sy="cp ~/.bash_aliases ~/Sync/" # copy my current iteration of my aliases to my shared syncthing folder so that it's accessible across devices

alias sy2ba="cp ~/Sync/.bash_aliases ~/" # replace the current iteration of my aliases w/ the synced version from my syncthing folder

alias mba='micro .bash_aliases' # open my aliases file in the modernized version of 'nano'

alias reload="source ~/.bashrc" # Quickly refresh my system so that the latest alias file is loaded

alias l='exa --group-directories-first -hlras modified --no-user --icons' # exa is a prettier version of ls. Options toggled: Human-readable, long format, reverse output, show hidden files/folders, sort by modified, hide the 'user' column since I'm the only one that uses the computer, and show the icons to make it look fancy```

Replaced Commands

alias cat='batcat --theme=ansi ' # Replace generic output of cat w/ a formatted version. This is bat (batcat in Debian)

alias rm='trash ' # Instead of auto-deleting files, put them in the 'trash' bin for 30 days, then delete.

Server & Docker-related

alias lazy='/home/macallik/.local/bin/lazydocker' # Run Docker

alias pad='ssh MyPad20334' # shorthand to ssh into my server

Some QoL stuff my good friend set-up for me.

# ALIASES -- EXA
alias ls='exa --group-directories-first --color=auto -h -aa -l --git'

# ALIASES -- YAY
alias yy='yay -Y --needed --norebuild --nocleanafter --nodiffmenu --noredownload --nocleanmenu --removemake --sudoloop'
alias ya='yay -S --needed --norebuild --nocleanafter --nodiffmenu --noredownload --nocleanmenu --removemake --sudoloop'
alias yu='yay -R --recursive --nosave'

# ALIASES -- CP
alias cp="cp --reflink=auto -i"

And then there's a bunch of stuff from the output of alias, most of them are git aliases. Those which aren't git-related are listed below:

-='cd -'
...=../..
....=../../..
.....=../../../..
......=../../../../..
1='cd -1'
2='cd -2'
3='cd -3'
4='cd -4'
5='cd -5'
6='cd -6'
7='cd -7'
8='cd -8'
9='cd -9'
_='sudo '
cp='cp --reflink=auto -i'
egrep='grep -E --color=auto --exclude-dir={.bzr,CVS,.git,.hg,.svn,.idea,.tox}'
fgrep='grep -F --color=auto --exclude-dir={.bzr,CVS,.git,.hg,.svn,.idea,.tox}'
history=omz_history
l='ls -lah'
la='ls -lAh'
ll='ls -lh'
ls='exa --group-directories-first --color=auto -h -aa -l --git'
lsa='ls -lah'
md='mkdir -p'
rd=rmdir

what is vimx just wondering ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Seems to be just normal vim, maybe some distros packages the binary (of vim with more options enabled at compile time) as vimx so that it doesn't conflict with another vim package (as an example vim-tiny). https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-vimx/

But only @aram@[email protected], can answer that for us.

So I've checked and...

alias la='ls -a'
alias mplayer='mplayer -noautosub -alang en'
alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lh'
alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lAa'
alias x='startx'
alias ekgi='ekg -i'
alias glinks='links2 -g'

My god, this must be in my .bashrc since forever. I mean... links2? ekg? startx? It's like archeology.

I will keep it there for future historians.

Feel free to call me a poser, a scrub, etc but I don't use aliases (other than the default ones, that is).

Why? Two words:

Brain. Exercise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I have codebase of 5k lines. Most used are git commands (squash all to merge base, push to current branch, commit with format etc), work shortcuts for starting projects, time logging, startup programs. Then I have some cli interface for redo commands, size of current folders for disk pruning, abandoned project alias, os commands like brightness adjust, launch game on steam with qwert instead of dvorak keyboard, search cli history, kill with regex matching...

Just anything that I don’t want to Google twice. bash is life

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

the only thing this does is add "--recursive" to every git clone invocation


git() {
  if [ "$1" = clone ]; then
    shift
    set -- clone --recursive "$@"
  fi
  command git "$@"
}

I've got the standard ones (l, ll, ls) to be forms of ls -flags

df = df -h
mv = mv -i
rm = rm -i
nix-switch = sudo nix-rebuild --switch flake .
nix-upd = nix flake update
systat = systemctl status
sysena = sudo systemctl enable
systop = sudo systemctl stop
