Or you just alias sl=ls and have productivity reach unseen levels!

• blakesterz 9y ago
  I have a few "idiot aliases" like that... alias grpe=grep alias gerp=grep
  • mulmen 9y ago
    My personal favorite is: alias fuck='sudo $(fc -nl -1)' Be very careful with this.
    • epse 9y ago
      What about the actual program thefuck? It can fix more than just sudo, and asks you to confirm

        I don't want to be asked and I don't want to install anything. I looked at thefuck but it didn't seem to do anything I needed.
    • ben509 9y ago
      Or make history work for you: shopt -s histverify histreedit Bash will let you then confirm the actual command it's going to run: sudo !!
      • mulmen 9y ago
        I use zsh and I don't know what shopt is. That's two commands and !! doesn't work in aliases.
        • sethrin 9y ago
          So why not just type 'sudo !!' ?
          • mulmen 9y ago
            Because it isn't as much fun.
        • rejschaap 9y ago
          In zsh it is called setopt. You don't need to make an alias, you would put this in your .bashrc
    • StavrosK 9y ago
      Here's one of my aliases for you: function fuckgit rm -rf /tmp/fuckgit/ git clone --no-checkout (git config --get remote.origin.url) /tmp/fuckgit/ rm -rf .git/ mv /tmp/fuckgit/.git . rm -rf /tmp/fuckgit/ end

      I think you can try this. https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

    alias gti='/usr/local/bin/git' alias gut='/usr/local/bin/git'

    > grpe Every. Single. Time. Sometimes I even typo it many times in a row. There must be //something// in that combination of letters, because I don't recall ever having that many mistakes with any other commands.
    • lallysingh 9y ago
      I think that many of my typos occur when switching between letters on one hand vs the other. I figure it's a brain hemisphere synchronization thing.
• simias 9y ago
  I've had "l" aliased to "ls -lhp" for so long that I can't work properly without it. I think many distros also alias "ll" to "ls -l" by default (I think CentOS/RHEL does it at least).
  • Symbiote 9y ago
    I have h=ls and hh=ls -l, which are much more comfortable with the Dvorak keyboard layout. (The equivalent would be j and jj on Qwerty.)
    • zarex 9y ago
      Good idea. Dvorak users unite! Do you use regular dvorak or programmer dvorak?
      • Symbiote 9y ago
        British Dvorak, since it keeps ", £, # etc where I expect them, but is still a standard layout available on Linux and Mac.
    • barrkel 9y ago
      I aliased d instead. I also have ll and la but I don't use them that often so didn't change them to be Dvorak optimized.
  • erichurkman 9y ago
    I, too, have "l" aliased, but years of muscle memory I still type "ls -lahp" every single friggin' time. Hey, at least it's portable when I'm ssh'd to another system.
  • floatboth 9y ago
    alias l="tree --dirsfirst -ChFL 1" alias l2="tree --dirsfirst -ChFL 2" alias l3="tree --dirsfirst -ChFL 3" alias l4="tree --dirsfirst -ChFL 4" alias l5="tree --dirsfirst -ChFL 5" ( or https://github.com/ogham/exa https://github.com/ogham/exa in tree mode )

• tjwds 9y ago
  For some reason the typo I tend to make the most is ';s', so I've gone ahead and set `alias s=ls`
• ohstopitu 9y ago
  I generally have this in my bash_aliases alias ls='ls -lah --color="auto"' alias l='ls -lah --color="auto"' alias ll='ls -lah --color="auto"' alias sl='ls -lah --color="auto"'
• ribs 9y ago
  This program reverses the output.
• supercheetah 9y ago
  I mean, yeah, you could, but that's not as much fun.
• madmax108 9y ago
  I've set alias ls=sl in dozens of systems belonging to colleagues over the years, just for the lulz! :D :D
• silveira 9y ago
  alias lsd="ls -d */"
