    as of bash 4, 'shopt -s autocd' will "execute" a directory by cd-ing to it.
    • voodoochilo 9y ago
      and?

  I call fish from my bashrc (because I want it to be my standard shell, but It can cause problems with certain scripts) I've aliased push to git push, and done the same with git commit. Edit: Of course the aliases are in my .fishrc, but it's the same in the end :)

  Start typing a command and use the arrow keys to find your history of that command: bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward' bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'

  A mishmash of stuff I have copied from various public "dotfiles" repos. Quite a few gems in here: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles

  Pretty much anything that requires sudo I would have an alias like: alias apt="sudo apt" ...

  One alias I use a lot when programming is this one: alias todo='grep -r "FIXME" * ; grep -r "TODO" * ; grep -r "XXX" *' Also, with git (the first line is in my .bashrc, the second in .gitconfig): alias ghist='git hist | head' hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short

    You could simplify your first alias with something like this: alias todo='egrep -r "(FIXME|TODO|XXX)" .'

  I have a bunch of aliases mostly. Any time I find myself typing the same command over and over I'll add a single or two-letter alias. So for Git, 'q' shows me git status, 'a' does git add *, and 'p' does git push origin master. I also have aliases for things like 'tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log', very handy.
