We may make mistakes by running commands on an incorrent machine. Especially when you work on a multi-tab window.

Command line tips

Use aliases when you can

alias sha1='openssl sha1'
alias sha256='openssl sha1 -a 256'

Example

Handy script functions

mkdircd () {
    mkdir -p "$@" && eval cd "\"\$$#\"";
}

Example

Copy text from command line

alias pbc='pbcopy'

#eg. copy current path
pwd|pbc

Edit copied text from command line

alias pbp='pbpaste'

#eg. convert copied text to uppercase
pbp|sed "s/./\U&/g"

#eg. use pbc with pbp
pbp|sed "s/./\U&/g"|pbc

Use cd aliases

alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../../'
alias _='cd -'

Use autojump

Use git aliases

alias gitp='git pull --rebase'
alias gitst='git status'
alias gitcl='git clone'
alias git1diff='git diff HEAD~1 HEAD'
alias gitcmt='git commit'
alias gitpo='git push origin'
