SHARE WITH THE CLASS: What aliases are you using?

From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I'll show you mines. Inspire others or get some feedback.

Simply copy & paste the output of alias in your terminal or add some comments to explain things for others.

(NOTE: A lot of my more interesting “aliases” are actually short functions, but I’m keeping myself to alias.)

Some of mine that I haven’t seen yet:

I don’t like having to renavigate to my project directory in a new terminal:
alias clone='(pwd | urxvt &amp; disown $!)'

Takes my current directory and opens it in my terminal. Then it disowns that new terminal process, so if I close the current terminal the new one doesnt disappear with it.

I’ve got aliases for every faltpak app I launch in the terminal for instance I’ve got code for vscodium or steam for well steam for example, I also alias some system commands so I have an update-grub, update, etc…

I also alias LSD to LS for obvious reasons.

When I switched to KDE I started using kate, but I used to have code as my vscodium alias as well. One interesting thing is seeing how similar people think. No wonder standard password guesses are so easy lol.

On a related note, I tried to make my SSH port based on the letters turned into numbers and realized that had been done before and was google-able also lol

This is a separate reply since I didn’t know that you can include shell functions here.

I made this little function read_latest_log() because I just want to “read the latest log file” in a directory full of timestamped log files. I made a helper function separator_line_with_text() to help with the output, basically setting off the file-info portion (just the filename for now) from the file contents.


<span style="color:#323232;"># # separator_line_with_text
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># # Centers text in a separator line
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># #

</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Calculate separator_length
</span><span style="color:#323232;">local separator_length=$(( $(tput cols) - 2 - ${#contents_str} ))
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Calculate the width of the left and right parts of the separator line
</span><span style="color:#323232;">local half_line_width=$(( (${separator_length}) / 2 ))
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># Construct the separator line using the $separator_char and $contents_str
</span><span style="color:#323232;">for ((i = 0; i « half_line_width; i++))
</span><span style="color:#323232;">do

I’m a simple man. I do simple things. I replace df, ls and top with more modern alternatives. Courtesy of this list.
alias df="duf"
alias ls="eza --group-directories-first --long --group --sort=ext --icons --all"
alias top="btm"

These are some pacman+fzf implementations from the arch wiki + a flatpak implementation i did with fzf(still needs some polish but it works).

alias pacq=$‘pacman -Q | fzf’

alias pacs=$‘pacman -Slq | fzf --multi --preview 'pacman -Si {1}' | xargs -ro sudo pacman -S’

alias pacr=$‘pacman -Qq | fzf --multi --preview 'pacman -Si {1}' | xargs -ro sudo pacman -Rns’

alias flatr=$‘flatpak list | fzf --preview 'flatpak info {2} ' | grep -Eo '[a-ZA-Z]+.[^ ]+' |awk '{print $1}' | xargs -ro flatpak remove --delete-data’

I'm going to assume all these syntax highlighted HTML embeds are from Lemmy users. Sadly, illegible on Kbin.

Ahhh I was wondering what that was as a fellow kbin-er. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out I could create threads across the fediverse today as a consolation.
