alias ..='cd ..'

mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }

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

alias weather=‘curl wttr.in’

alias ll=“ls - l”

My most-used, by far, for decades.

alias ta="tmux attach -t"

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 called git-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 type git f and pick the target commit from the list.

I always set these because I’ve been burned too many times:

Turn on interactive mode for dangerous commands

alias mv='mv -iv'
alias rm='rm -iv'

Here are mine. Sorry for the mouth full, but I think people may benefit from some of these :)

Here’s my .bash_aliases file

Good luck, I’m dogshit at maintaining the comments lol

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
}

become="sudo su -"
pb="ansible-playbook"

alias fuck='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'

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.

I don’t use aliases. Since I use fish as a login shell, I use abbreviations. I have a lot of them configured. But I think my favorite one is yeet which expands to paru -Rcns.
