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"

    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'

    mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }

    Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.

    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 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
}

    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.

    For git and working with a mix of master and main default branch repos my favourite is gsm='git switch $(git_main_branch)' to switch back to main/master

    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.
