What are your most liked alias for long commands or just to give them better names.
Mine are:
alias load="source .load.sh"
alias eload="$EDITOR .load.sh"
alias gpush="git push"
alias gadd="git add --all"
alias gcommit="git commit -m "
alias gst="git status -s"
alias gpull="git pull"
I use this function to launch GUI apps from the shell without occupying that shell or cluttering it with their output:
nown() {
if [ -n "$1" ]
then
nohup $@ &> /dev/null & disown
else
echo "Don't give me a null command dumbass."
fi
}
Interesting, git do support aliases too. “git st” etc What is .load.sh?
mkcd() { mkdir -p “$1” && cd “$1”; }
Make a directory and immediately cd into it. I rarely make a directory and not cd into it.

I don’t use aliases. Since I use fish
as a login shell, I use abbreviations. I have a lot of them configured. But I think my favorite one is yeet
which expands to paru -Rcns
