What are your favorite/dumbest aliases to use when you're feeling lazy?

• thefuck

  305 82,689 4.8 Python

  Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command.

  I recommend thefuck instead of an alias since it offers suggestions for a lot of different errors.

• config

  4 - -

  I like using short aliases like e for emerge and v for nvim: https://gitlab.com/glibg10b/config/-/blob/main/zsh/zshrc.d/50-aliases.zsh

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com

• wd

  9 679 4.2 Shell

  :rocket: Jump to custom directories in zsh

  Since I use wd to switch to project directories, I created an alias to quickly search through my projects and switch to a directory:

• cheat.sh

  138 37,399 0.0 Python

  the only cheat sheet you need

  ❯ cat .zsh.d/aliases.zsh alias ll='ls -lah --group-directories-first' alias ..='cd ..' alias venv="python -m venv .venv --prompt $(basename $(pwd))" alias systimers="systemctl list-units --type=timer" alias sysservices="systemctl list-units --type=service" alias sysstart="sudo systemctl start" alias sysstop="sudo systemctl stop" alias sysrestart="sudo systemctl restart" alias sysstatus="sudo systemctl status" alias sysenable="sudo systemctl enable" alias ping='ping -c 4' alias uuid='sudo blkid -s UUID -o value' function mkcd () { mkdir -p $1 && cd $1 } function wiki() { search_term=$(echo $@ | sed 's/ /+/g') lynx https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php\?search\=${search_term} } function wtfis() { curl "https://cheat.sh/$1" }

• jc

  96 7,506 9.6 Python

  CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.

  my general rule of thumb for aliases is, if it's not in tldr or man, than it's free range. in this case, it's really too bad https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc exists. in reality it's something i'll probably never have a need to use, but there's a lingering preventative feeling keeping me from aliasing "jc" due to the fact that the real jc is actually pretty freaking cool.

• yt-dlp

  102 99 9.9 Python

  Discontinued MOVE TO NIGHTLY BUILDS FROM YT-DLP. DO NOT USE (by ytdl-patched)

  

  recommend replacing youtube-dl with yt-dlp

• exa

  129 23,258 3.2 Rust

  A modern replacement for ‘ls’.

  that I use a git statusreplacement using exa which I think is a bit nicer as it skips the explanatory test and gives the difference as a tree view.

• WorkOS

  workos.com

  sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• dotfiles.cli

  13 - -

  There's also d and D which map to this function.

• pso

  1 16 10.0 Shell

  Pretty Straightforward Opener (by galatolofederico)

  o for open - aliased to pso, a simpler/easier xdg-open alternative.

• taptempo.py

  1 7 2.2 Python

  a simple python tap-tempo utility meant to be used from the command-line

  taptempo - aliased to my simple python taptempo script

• scripts

  1 2 8.4 Shell

  My personal collection of scripts. (by defaultxr)

  I also have quite a few other scripts I've written published here, with more to come when they're worth sharing.
