Here are mine. Sorry for the mouth full, but I think people may benefit from some of these :)

	pushd ~/.local/share/remmina
	cmd=$(remmina -c $(ls $PWD/* | fzf -e --select-1 --no-sort --query "$1"))
	# push the command into the history
	print -S $cmd
	eval $cmd
	popd
}

I always set these because I've been burned too many times:

Turn on interactive mode for dangerous commands

alias cp='cp -iv'
alias mv='mv -iv'
alias rm='rm -iv'

Not exactly an alias but a short script. First, get git-revise which is a replacement for git rebase, and fzf if for some reason you don't have it yet. Then make a script in your ~/.local/bin called git-f or whatever you'd like:

#!/bin/bash
REF=${1:-origin/main}  # adjust to your favorite trunk branch name
COMMIT=$(git log --pretty=oneline ${REF}.. \
         | fzf --preview "git show -p --stat {+1}" | cut -d' ' -f1)
if [ -n "$COMMIT" ]; then
    exec git revise "$COMMIT"
else
    exit 1
fi

Now hack away in a branch, make some commits, and at some point you will realize you want to modify an earlier commit. Use git add -p to add the relevant lines, but then instead of making a fixup commit just type git f and pick the target commit from the list.

alias clearswap='sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias ls='ls --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias la='ls -lAh --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias timestamp='date +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S'

Here's my .bash_aliases file

Good luck, I'm dogshit at maintaining the comments lol

I use this function to launch GUI apps from the shell without occupying that shell or cluttering it with their output:

nown() {
        if [ -n "$1" ]
        then
                nohup $@ &> /dev/null & disown
        else
                echo "Don't give me a null command dumbass."
        fi
}

become="sudo su -"
pb="ansible-playbook"

alias fuck='sudo $(fc -ln -1)'

Technically not aliases but I have these in my ~/.bash_aliases so...

bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'

Type a few letters and press up/down arrow to scroll through matching history entries.

Also...

alias s="cd -"

It's like Alt+Tab for CLI.

*ahem

alias brb='paru -Syu --noconfirm && paru -Sc --noconfirm'

I don't use aliases. Since I use fish as a login shell, I use abbreviations. I have a lot of them configured. But I think my favorite one is yeet which expands to paru -Rcns.

For git and working with a mix of master and main default branch repos my favourite is gsm='git switch $(git_main_branch)' to switch back to main/master

alias et='emacsclient -ct'
alias ec='emacsclient -cn'
alias make='make --warn-undefined-variables'

dc="docker-compose" saves me soooo much time!

Interesting, git do support aliases too. "git st" etc What is .load.sh?

alias clearswap='sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a

alias reload='source ~/.bashrc'

scan_local() {

 local_ip=$(ip addr show wlan0 | grep "inet " | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F '/' '{print $1}')

 sudo nmap -sn "$local_ip/24"

}

I made a cool exercise some time ago: checking my top 10 used commands, to see how I can "optimize" them, and maybe create a few aliases to save a few keystrokes. Turns out I don't need that much aliases in the end:

alias v='vis' # my text editor
alias sv='doas vis'
alias ll='ls -l'

And that's pretty much it ^^ I do have a lot of scripts though, some of them being one-liners, but it makes them shell independent, which I like :)

For reference, here is my analysis of my top 10 most used commands.

edit: I do have a bunch of git aliases though for common subcommands I use. I prefer using them as git <alias> over using she'll specific aliases so I can always type "git" and not mentally think wether I need a git command or a shell alias.

alias x="exit"

TTIME (abbr - not alias)

abbr -a -- ttime date\ \'+It\ is\ \%-H\ \%M\ and\ \%S\ seconds\'\|espeak\ \>/dev/null\ 2\>/dev/null # imported from a universal variable, see `help abbr`

alias gecko="echo"

Updating Silverblue KDE from the terminal is way too convoluted. Sadly Fedora won't do anything as they only care about the GUI experience.

# Defined in /home/raphael/.config/fish/functions/update.fish @ line 1
function update --description 'Update and cleanup system'
    fedora sudo dnf update -y
    rpm-ostree update
    flatpak update -y
    flatpak uninstall --unused
    flatpak uninstall --delete-data
end

Quite basic but saves me a couple of seconds each time. alias update="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean -y"

alias ein='f() { sudo emerge -av $1 };f'
alias eup='sudo emerge -avuDN @world'

I like to use the ones includes in oh-my-zsh. It's a big list, but the ones I use the most are:

gst --> git status

gcam --> git commit -am

gcp --> git cherry-pick

gsta --> git stash save

gstp --> git stash pop

gpsup --> git push --set-upstream origin $(git_current_branch)

grb --> git rebase

alias gladog="git log —all —decorate —oneline —graph" is my all time favourite. Sometimes I just want to have a quick way to see the git graph in the terminal.
