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"

    mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }

    Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.

      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
      }

    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/bin called git-f or 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
    fi
    

    Now 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 -p to add the relevant lines, but then instead of making a fixup commit just type git f and pick the target commit from the list.

    I use this function to launch GUI apps from the shell without occupying that shell or cluttering it with their output:

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

    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'

    Technically not aliases but I have these in my ~/.bash_aliases so…

    bind ‘“\e[A”: history-search-backward’
    bind ‘“\e[B”: history-search-forward’

    Type a few letters and press up/down arrow to scroll through matching history entries.

    Also…

    alias s=“cd -”

    It’s like Alt+Tab for CLI.

      What a nice abbreviation of the conventional way of declaring the minimanalasation of a command. I need to check out fish but i don’t really know about it so much.

    alias clearswap='sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a

    alias reload=‘source ~/.bashrc’

    scan_local() {

     local_ip=$(ip addr show wlan0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F '/' '{print $1}')
    
     sudo nmap -sn "$local_ip/24"
    

    }
