I use fish shell, which lets you create abbreviations. Abbreviations are like shell aliases, except that after you type them, they expand to the entire command -- so it helps you memorize the real thing as well! Also there's auto-complete, which helps you find your saved abbreviations. For example, to save an abbreviation: $ abbr undo-unpushed-commit 'git reset --hard HEAD^' ... later ... Start typing a few chars and it'll suggest the rest: $ undo-u|npushed-commit Press the right arrow key to accept the suggestion $ undo-unpushed-commit| When you press enter or space, the abbreviation will expand: $ git reset --hard HEAD^ | --- There are a lot of other reasons to use fish shell. For example, when you save abbreviations or functions or aliases, they immediately persist and propagate to other shell windows! https://fishshell.com/ https://fishshell.com/
