What bash aliases does everyone use on a daily basis? 🔥

#discuss

Bash aliases are incredibly useful to reduce the amount of typing and memorisation of long or repetitive commands.

Some that I have set are:

ga=git add -A gc=git commit -m $* gp=git push origin $* gs=git status
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I've also come across a good list here:

That being said, I'm also curious about what aliases does everyone use often, are their favourites or find intuitive for them? 😄

I love aliases, you gain so much time. Here's what it looks like for me (as of now, it'll certainly grow):

# use hub for git alias git=hub ## npm aliases alias ni="npm install" alias nrs="npm run start -s --" alias nrb="npm run build -s --" alias nrd="npm run dev -s --" alias nrt="npm run test -s --" ## yarn aliases alias ya="yarn" alias yaa="yarn add" alias yar="yarn remove" alias yad="yarn run dev" alias yas="yarn run start" alias yab="yarn run build" alias yat="yarn run test" alias yaga="yarn global add" alias yagr="yarn global remove" alias yarn-update="yarn upgrade-interactive --latest" alias flush="rm -rf node_modules" alias cleanup_ds="find . -type f -name '*.DS_Store' -ls -delete" # custom aliases alias de="cd ~/Desktop" alias dl="cd ~/Downloads" # Update brew alias brew-update='brew update; brew upgrade; brew cleanup'; # Copy the ZSH config to dotfiles repo alias copy-zsh='cp ~/.zshrc ~/Desktop/dotfiles/.zshrc; cd ~/Desktop/dotfiles && git add .zshrc && git commit -m "Update ZSH" && git push'
