alias co='curl -O'
- statictype 17y agoTrue, much simpler. I guess a larger reason would be that 7+ years of using wget has wired me to its commandline. I'm so used to typing `wget -c "<middle-click>"` or something on the command line, that I just never considered creating aliases for alternatives.
- mahmud 17y ago'co' is already taken though :-)
- X-Istence 17y agoWith what? I've got no such alias here.
- randallsquared 17y agoMaybe he aliases that to a vcs checkout command, like 'svn co'?
- cabacon 17y agoco and ci are the old RCS commands, and they're why you can do "cvs co" and "cvs ci" with CVS.
- pavel_lishin 17y agoAlright, alias wget='curl -O'
