What bash alias do you set?

SodaWithoutSparkles

looking for some bash aliases. Currently my only one is:

alias ports="sudo netstat -tulpn"

matey0

Have many many personal or desktop related ones. These are pretty general:

alias ip="ip --color"
alias mv="mv -i"
alias ls="exa"
alias lsd="ls -l --sort=date"
alias gdb="gdb -q"

Levi

export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'
 eval "$(dircolors)"
 alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'
 alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l'
 alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA'

I'm a csh kind of guy, so whenever I end up with bash I need my history search.

bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'

Everything else I adjust to pretty easily, but I will never get used to not being able to quickly search in history.

For me only changing HISTFILESIZE and FILESIZE to unlimited, and do C-r to search what I looking for

I've been hit by the premature ENTER a few times in the past when using TAB autocomplete, so

alias rm="rm -r"

That's very bad. Why do you do that?

alt_

alias check="ps -o user:32,pid,stime,tty,cmd -U $USER --forest"
alias size="du -ah"

clean () {
 FILE=$1
 FILENAME=${FILE%.*}
 $HOME/script-cleanup.pl < ${FILE} > ${FILENAME}_clean.log
 echo File ${FILE} has been cleaned up.
}

We use a text file to record all our bash commands.
When we need a command, we look over the text file and copy-paste the command.
We even have a command to feed the snake collection.

I just do

• ctrl-r
• ctrl-p

with a Bash history of 2000 entries I can generally find the chosen one.

Convenience, its also pretty hard to me hit ~1,5K lines .history per month and there no noticeable performance on my rusty computer, so this win solution to me.

For extra, I do also ignore repetitive command like ls, exit, ln on my history by set pattern on HITSIGNORE.

I saw a thing from someone once to always do your rm commands like so and then remove the # before you execute:

$ #rm -r ...

...maybe one day I'll take that advice 😅 still living dangerously atm

MannDude

None, but probably should.

I'm just an avid history | grep thing-i-forgot user.

alias y="curl -sL yabs.sh | bash"

default2

alias i='grep -i'
I have spend to much on Cisco command line (i = include alias)
