Precise typing? Do you mean hitting tab?
Tabbing? I just copy and paste my commands from ~~stack overflow~~ AI garbage now.
I just realized that this is somebodyβs actual alias list and not just a joke.
Not as long as OP's, but I've had alias cim=vim for a minute. Brain just don't do it
My preferred alias is
alias l='ls -latrF'
It's the command line version of setting your file browser to list files with details instead of showing a grid of icons.
Edit: I did install sl thanks to some of the other comments. Beautiful!
alias pqsl='psql'
alias arch-update='sudo pacman -Syu && Yay -Syu && flatpak update && sudo freshclam'
Isn't pacman -Syu redundant if you run yay -Syu afterwards? Also, just yay is the same as yay -Syu
In an alias like this, running pacman first has the advantage that the true Arch packages install completely before any AUR packages that require slow downloads, package compression, or long build steps.
I'm not sure about yay but paru installs them completely first too, before AUR stuff. It literally runs pacman -Syu
Yes but who cares, it works and that is all that matter.
If you would see my dotfiles, you would see a lot of unnecessary shit, because I don't write them to be perfect, I write something when I realize this would be nice in the moment, and I just do it as I know how to and just leave it, as long as it works.
Yes but who cares, it works and that is all that matter.
This has pretty much been my approach to everything I do lol.
Probably. I'll give your way a try. I never really thought about it much after writing it. Thanks!
It can be, but sometimes packages are removed from the official repos, but still available in AUR, only running yay -Syu will install the AUR versions of dependencies that are no longer needed, and can leave you with a bunch of unnecessary packages from AUR.
If you run pacman -Syu on its own the unnecessary dependencies will be removed and you won't get the AUR versions, and then yay -Syu will only update things you actually want from AUR.
alias cd.. "cd .."
Windows programmer detected!
(I was guilty of this so much)
The most useful for me is probably ~~"ln = ls -n"~~
It's supposed to be "lsn = ls -n".
I originally had
alias ll="ls -la"
Now it is
alias ll="eza --all --long --header --group --time-style=long-iso --git --icons --group-directories-first"
What if you need to create a link?
I mistyped. I have it set as lsn.
Ehm ... https://linux.die.net/man/1/ln
In true accordance to the post. I mistyped. I have it set as lsn.
No thanks. I choose life. Though it reminds me of this little gem
I recently switched to a mechanical keyboard (with linear switches), and it took me a while to stop mistyping every command
alias ll='ls -l'
ls on smol screen, ls -lah on big screen.
