On: Sl: a mirror version of ls

[pantalaimon]

Or you just

    alias sl=ls

and have productivity reach unseen levels!

[simias → pantalaimon]

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).

[floatboth → simias]

    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 in tree mode )

[erichurkman → simias]

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.

[Symbiote → simias]

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.)

[barrkel → Symbiote]

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.

[zarex → Symbiote]

Good idea. Dvorak users unite!

Do you use regular dvorak or programmer dvorak?

[Symbiote → zarex]

British Dvorak, since it keeps ", £, # etc where I expect them, but is still a standard layout available on Linux and Mac.

[RBerenguel → simias]

I have l aliased to -lhrt since it’s what I mostly need.

[blakesterz → pantalaimon]

I have a few "idiot aliases" like that...

  alias grpe=grep
  alias gerp=grep

[strkek → blakesterz]

> 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 → strkek]

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.

[Twirrim → blakesterz]

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

[mulmen → blakesterz]

My personal favorite is:

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

Be very careful with this.

[stavros → mulmen]

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

[epse → mulmen]

What about the actual program thefuck? It can fix more than just sudo, and asks you to confirm

[web007 → epse]

https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

[mulmen → epse]

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 → mulmen]

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 → ben509]

I use zsh and I don't know what shopt is. That's two commands and !! doesn't work in aliases.

[rejschaap → mulmen]

In zsh it is called setopt. You don't need to make an alias, you would put this in your .bashrc

[sethrin → mulmen]

So why not just type 'sudo !!' ?

[mulmen → sethrin]

Because it isn't as much fun.

[oldgun → mulmen]

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

[ohstopitu → pantalaimon]

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"'

[tjwds → pantalaimon]

For some reason the typo I tend to make the most is ';s', so I've gone ahead and set `alias s=ls`

[supercheetah → pantalaimon]

I mean, yeah, you could, but that's not as much fun.

[madmax108 → pantalaimon]

I've set alias ls=sl in dozens of systems belonging to colleagues over the years, just for the lulz! :D :D

[ribs → pantalaimon]

This program reverses the output.

[silveira → pantalaimon]

alias lsd="ls -d */"
