I am currently looking for a way to easily store and run commands, usually syncing files between two deeply nested directories whenever I want.
So far I found these projects:
Other solutions:
- Bash history using ^+r
- Bash aliases
- Bash functions
What do you guys use?
I have a file in my ~ called .alias and it is sourced by any shell I might use (currently just zsh) in it are common aliases like s => sudo and “sudo” => "sudo " (just put this as an alias if you use them a lot, you’ll thank me when you’re trying to use them with sudo)
I vi as the command line editor, so fetching history commands is quick:
ESC /searchstring
But if it’s something really frequent or may benefit from parameters, I usually throw a perl or bash script in /usr/local/bin.
