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"
alias ..='cd ..'AmigaOS style!
My variant (u mean “up” in my head)
alias u ='cd ..' alias uu ='cd ../..' alias uuu='cd ../../..'

Uuuuh needed this one so many times.
alias weather=‘curl wttr.in’
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/$1 fi else echo "curl not installed. Aborting." fi }That is really neat. I never knew I needed that.
alias ll=“ls - l”
My most-used, by far, for decades.
For just a second I thought this was Loss
This and
alias la="ls -lhA"In addition to this, I have
lat&laswith-t&-ssorting added respectively.
alias ta="tmux attach -t"I’m always thinking of using tmux for tilling.
Not exactly an alias but a short script. First, get git-revise which is a replacement for
git rebase, and fzf if for some reason you don’t have it yet. Then make a script in your~/.local/bincalledgit-for whatever you’d like:#!/bin/bash REF=${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 fiNow 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 -pto add the relevant lines, but then instead of making a fixup commit just typegit fand pick the target commit from the list.Good luck, I’m dogshit at maintaining the comments lol
Very nice
Here are mine. Sorry for the mouth full, but I think people may benefit from some of these :)

nown() { if [ -n "$1" ] then nohup $@ &> /dev/null & disown else echo "Don't give me a null command dumbass." fi }I maybe will steal that for myself.

Also…
alias s=“cd -”
It’s like Alt+Tab for CLI.
*ahem
alias brb='paru -Syu --noconfirm && paru -Sc --noconfirm'You should name it alias btw=… to fully embrace our stereotype ;).
alias fuck='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'Just use
sudo !!yeah, I could do that. Kinda prefer to use my alias anyway as the expletive is almost always the first word that comes to mind when I forget to sudo something
Can’t argue with that but it reminds me of thefuck which is similar but does more
thanks for that link!! I’m going to try it out :)
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'become="sudo su -" pb="ansible-playbook"
