command line aliases to make repeated processes quicker. I’ve used them in the past and on specific programs but never on command line utilities.
like for instance with Debian, I’m repeatedly typing sudo apt-get install, so I aliased it: alias sagi=“sudo apt-get install” and it works pretty good.
Are there any best practices or aliases to avoid when using them? Other than known commands obviously. Are there popular alias lists out there?
no, i make shell scripts for everything in /usr/local/bin/ . i find it more easy to manage and transfer. one liners can become bigger real quick, so i start with a script right away. also, since they have the shell in the hash bang line, they work in multiple shells.
