# Copy pwd into clipboard using pbcopy
alias cpwd="pwd | tr -d '\n' | pbcopy && echo 'pwd copied into clipboard'"

alias cd…=“cd …”

alias gimme='git checkout'

git() {
  if [ "$1" = "cd" ]; then
    shift
    cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*"
  else
    command git "$@"

}

This lets you run git cd to go to the root of your repo, or git cd foo/bar to go to a path relative to that root. You can’t do it as an alias because it’s conditional, and you can’t do it as a git-cd command because that wouldn’t affect the current shell.

I made this one to find binaries in NixOs and other systems

get_bin_path() {
        paths=${2:-$PATH}
        for dr in $(echo $paths | tr ':' '\n') ; do
                if [ -f "$dr/$1" ] ; then
                        echo "$dr/$1"
                        return 0
                fi
        done
        return 1
}

Then I made this one to, if I have a shell o opened inside neovim it will tell the neovim process running the shell to open a file on it, instead of starting a new process

_nvim_con() {
        abs_path=$(readlink --canonicalize "$@" | sed s'| |\\ |'g)
        $(get_bin_path nvim) --server $NVIM --remote-send "<ESC>:edit $abs_path<CR>"
        exit
}

# start host and open file
_nvim_srv() {
        $(get_bin_path nvim) --listen $HOME/.cache/nvim/$$-server.pipe $@
}

if [ -n "$NVIM" ] ; then
        export EDITOR="_nvim_con"
else
        export EDITOR="_nvim_srv"
fi

Lastly this bit: which if it detects a file and a line number split by a : it will open the file and jump to the line

_open() {
        path_parts=$(readlink --canonicalize "$@" | sed s'| |\\ |'g | sed 's/:/\t/' )
        file=$(echo "$path_parts" | awk ' { print $1 }' )
        line=$(echo "$path_parts" | awk ' { print $2 }' )

        if [ -n "$line" ] ; then
                # has line number
                if [ -n "$NVIM" ] ; then
                        $(get_bin_path nvim) --server $NVIM --remote-send "<ESC>:edit $file<CR>:+$line<CR>"
                        exit
                else
                        $(get_bin_path nvim) --listen $HOME/.cache/nvim/$$-server.pipe $file "+:$line"
                fi
        else
                $EDITOR $file
        fi
}

alias nvim="_open"

all of my bash config is here

alias sl=“ls“

alias cls=clear

My first language was QB, so it makes me chuckle.

Also, alias cim=vim. If I had a penny…

on most of my systems I get tired of constantly lsing after a cd so I combine them:

cd(){
    cd $1 && ls
}

(excuse if this doesn’t work, I am writing this from memory)

I also wrote a function to access docker commands quicker on my Truenas system. If passed nothing, it enters the docker jailmaker system, else it passes the command to docker running inside the system.

docker () {
        if [[ "$1" == "" ]]; then
                jlmkr shell docker
                return
        else
                sudo systemd-run --pipe --machine docker docker "$@"
                return
        fi
}

I have a few similar shortcuts for programs inside jailmaker and long directories that I got sick of typing out.

alias nmtui="NEWT_COLORS='root=black,black;window=black,black;border=white,black;listbox=white,black;label=blue,black;checkbox=red,black;title=green,black;button=white,red;actsellistbox=white,red;actlistbox=white,gray;compactbutton=white,gray;actcheckbox=white,blue;entry=lightgray,black;textbox=blue,black' nmtui"

It’s nmtui but pretty!

well i have a script. ive named it “shazam”. it either creates or attachs to a tmux session named after the base name of the dir (first arg or current working directory). i also have “fzf-shazam” as the same suggests itll open a fzf finder to choose a dir to “shazam”

alias scr=screen -dRU

I don’t know why Screen has any other flags. I do not want to bother learning the keyboard shortcuts for tmux even though its probably works better

alias ed=$EDITOR

Extremely convenient on a qwerty keyboard.

This should probably be a default nowadays. Does even a single person here use the real ed ?

None, I like to type
