command line aliases to make repeated processes quicker. I’ve used them in the past and on specific programs but never on command line utilities.
like for instance with Debian, I’m repeatedly typing sudo apt-get install, so I aliased it: alias sagi=“sudo apt-get install” and it works pretty good.
Are there any best practices or aliases to avoid when using them? Other than known commands obviously. Are there popular alias lists out there?
Some of these demand that the terminal you use them with is kitty:
alias ipc='curl icanhazip.com' # btop is *pretty* bloat! alias htop='btop' # I'm kinda proud of this oneliner. It's pointless, but it was fun. It displays a random square image when you run # neofetch rather than the default ansi art alias neofetch='filarr=(~/Media/Images/1x1/*.*) && fil=${filarr[$RANDOM % ${#filarr[@]}]} && neofetch --kitty $fil' # comics are an important part of my life alias gd='cd ~ ; gallery-dl' alias gde="cd ~ ; gallery-dl --chapter-filter 'lang == (\"en\")'" alias yd='yt-dlp --sub-langs all --embed-subs --embed-chapters --progress --paths home:~/Downloads' alias subl="/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text" #exa is currently unmaintained. eza is a maintained fork. It installs a link to exa, but... alias ls="eza --icons --hyperlink --group-directories-first --git" alias lsblkv="lsblk -o \"NAME,KNAME,SIZE,TYPE,VENDOR,MODEL,MOUNTPOINT\"" alias icat="kitty +kitten icat" alias mem="grep -e Dirty: /proc/meminfo; grep -e Writeback: /proc/meminfo" alias flush="sync" alias links="links https://www.duckduckgo.com" alias q="qalc" alias hf="history 1 | fzf" # tile the first two kitty windows and resize all kitty windows to 915x945, redirecting any errors to /dev/null alias tk="xdotool search --class kitty windowmove %1 30 105 windowmove %2 975 105 windowsize %@ 915 945 2>/dev/null" # only ask for password once on long updates alias yay="yay --sudoloop"
