I've got aliases for every faltpak app I launch in the terminal for instance I've got code for vscodium or steam for well steam for example, I also alias some system commands so I have an update-grub, update, etc...

I also alias LSD to LS for obvious reasons.

I don't like having to renavigate to my project directory in a new terminal:

alias clone='(pwd | urxvt & disown $!)'

Takes my current directory and opens it in my terminal. Then it disowns that new terminal process, so if I close the current terminal the new one doesnt disappear with it.

alias cat lolcat
alias ccat whatever ohmyzsh does for their colorize extension, I know it’s a function alias

I mainly use an alias to ssh into my server and another to stream lofi girl audio with mpv

here we go, in no particular order:

claer=clear
gvim='nvim +Gclog +Git'
vim=nvim
vi=/usr/bin/vim
v=/usr/bin/vi
glog='git log --oneline --graph --all'
rcp='rsync -r --info=progress2 --partial'
d0='du -h --max-depth 0'
d1='du -h --max-depth 1'
ls='ls --time-style=long-iso --color=tty'
icat=chafa
ssh='TERM=xterm-256color ssh' # (kitty messes with TERM)

(NOTE: A lot of my more interesting "aliases" are actually short functions, but I'm keeping myself to alias.)

Some of mine that I haven't seen yet:

# Simple python calculator
alias pycalc='python3 -ic "
from math import *\nimport cmath as C
try:
    import numpy as np
except:
    pass
i, j = 1j, 1j
"'

# Defaults
alias cp='cp --interactive --reflink=auto'
alias gcc='gcc -fdiagnostics-color=auto'
# Lemmy doesn't handle ampersands in codeblocks correctly
alias rg='rg --max-columns=$((COLUMNS > 60 && ! ZSH_SUBSHELL ? COLUMNS - 30 : 0))'
alias rj='rg --json'
alias rm='rm -s'
alias rscp='rsync -azP --human-readable --info=flist0,progress2,stats1'
alias rust-c='rustc --out-dir build -O'

# Shorter forms
alias g=git
alias v=$VISUAL
alias py=python
alias jfeu='journalctl --user -xfeu'
alias sys='systemctl --user'
alias Jfeu='journalctl -xfeu'
alias Sys=systemctl

# Desktop stuff
alias trash='gio trash'
alias ud=udisksctl
alias y=wl-copy
alias Y='wl-copy -p'
alias p=wl-paste
alias P='wl-paste -p'

# Colorize with acolor/grc
alias GRC='grc -es'
alias LA='acol ls -lFAhb --color'
alias LS='acol ls -lFhb --color'
alias df='GRC df -hT'
alias dig='GRC dig'
alias docker='GRC docker'
alias docker-machine='GRC docker-machine'
alias env='acol env'
alias lsblk='acol lsblk'
alias lsmount='command mount | rg --color=never "^/" | acol -i -o mount'
alias lspci='acol lspci'
alias mount='acol mount'
alias nmap='acol nmap'
alias ping='GRC ping'
alias ps='GRC ps --columns $COLUMNS'
alias traceroute='GRC traceroute'

Some random ones I created over the last week or so:

alias clipboard='xclip -selection clipboard' # Allows me to pipe output directly to my keyboard. good for pwd for example.

Function allows me to get tldr and cheat responses to commands quickly
function cht() {
curl cheat.sh/$1
}

Easy calculator so that I can do math w/o launching a specific app
function calc() {
echo "scale=3; $@" | bc
}

I've got the standard ones (l, ll, ls) to be forms of ls -flags

df = df -h
mv = mv -i
rm = rm -i
nix-switch = sudo nix-rebuild --switch flake .
nix-upd = nix flake update
systat = systemctl status
sysena = sudo systemctl enable
systop = sudo systemctl stop

I'm a simple man. I do simple things. I replace df, ls and top with more modern alternatives. Courtesy of this list.

alias df="duf"
alias ls="eza --group-directories-first --long --group --sort=ext --icons --all"
alias top="btm"

For system updates:

[ -r /etc/os-release ] && . /etc/os-release
case "$ID" in
  arch|archarm)
    if which paru > /dev/null 2>&1; then
      alias updates='echo Using paru; paru'
    else
      alias updates='echo Using pacman; sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm'
    fi
    ;;
  debian|ubuntu)
    alias updates='echo Using apt dist-upgrade; sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y'
    ;;
