From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I’ll show you mines. Inspire others or get some feedback.

Simply copy & paste the output of alias in your terminal or add some comments to explain things for others.

Not the person you responded to, but sure. Breaking muscle memory is extremely grating.

Also, it’s pretty easy to type long commands with little typing. If you use ctrl+r to search backward in your history, you can easily recall long commands - and also, you can use ctrl+x,ctrl+e to edit the current command line in $EDITOR so you can edit long commands. These two tricks make it very easy to type long commands quickly with very little typing.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
