    Prefixing these utility scripts is a nice tip, I used to do that as well.

    Some time ago I found https://github.com/ianthehenry/sd though. It's a light wrapper around your own scripts which provides namespaces, autocompletion, custom help texts + some other QoL enhancements around that. It improves discoverability and usability a lot, very happy with it.

    A few things that can help with memory:

    - spaced repetition for stuff that you use sporadically. I use Anki, it's great. For how to use it, this article is great: https://borretti.me/article/effective-spaced-repetition. I've found a positive feedback loop where the more I know how to do things without looking anything up, the more I use the CLI, the easier I remember things, the more things I discover, etc. I read once that when learning a new language, you should aim for content where you know 80%/90% already. It seems to be true for learning the CLI, and especially for integrating that learning into my day to day job.

    - sd (https://github.com/ianthehenry/sd) for lowering the cost of creating a "documented alias". Before that I made aliases with either alias, or bash functions, all starting with "," to quickly see all which are "mine" (I read that trick in an article that I can't find), now the more complex stuff is in sd with some documentation.

    Yeah :( https://github.com/ianthehenry/sd/issues/9

    The trouble is `sd` is just so easy to type on a qwerty keyboard, and it's such a nice mnemonic for "script directory." I've thought about renaming it, but I can't think of anything I like nearly as much.

  • Start all of your commands with a comma (2009)

    zsh can do this if you set the PATH_DIRS option, but if I remember right it doesn't autocomplete deeply nested directories, just one level.

    I made a little tool that dispatches hierarchical commands in a slightly nicer way, with intelligent autocomplete with command descriptions: https://github.com/ianthehenry/sd
