Neofetch
Get on with the times, install fastfetch ;)
pv (Pipe Viewer) is a command line tool to view verbose information about data streamed/piped through it. The data can be of any source like files, block devices, network streams etc. It shows the amount of data passed through, time running, progress bar, percentage and the estimated completion time.

Saving this thread for later, but I use rsync -a a lot.
Have you heard of our lord and saviour rclone?
I haven’t gone back to rsync in a long time.
I use it to mount cloud storage as network drives… I’ll have to look into your implication though!

Make me a sandwich.
LambdaRX is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported
Eh, guess I won’t get anything for christmas.
I went a little overboard and wrote a one-liner to accurately answer this question

historydisplays like this for me20622 2023-02-18 16:41:23 lsI don’t know if that’s because I setHISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T 'in .bashrc, or if it’s like that for everyone. If it’s different for you change-f 5to target the command. Use-f 5-7to include flags and arguments.My top 5 (since last install)
2002 ls 1296 cd 455 hx 427 g 316 findgis an alias for gitui. When I include flags and arguments most of the top commands are aliases, often shortcuts to a project directory.Not to ramble, but after doing this I figured I should alias the longest, most-used commands (even aliasing
lstolcould have saved 2002 keystrokes :P) So I wrote another one-liner to check for available single characters to alias with:for c in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z; do [[ ! $(command -v $c) ]] && echo $c; doneIn .bash_aliases I’ve added
alias b='hx ${HOME}/.bash_aliases'to quickly edit aliases andalias r='source ${HOME}/.bashrc'to reload them.deleted by creator
Helix?
Yup! Migrated from VSCodium; wanted to learn a modal editor but didn’t have the time or confidence to configure vim or neovim. It’s been my go-to editor for 2+ years now.
I’ve been using vi (just the basics) for ~4 years, I don’t think I could be arsed to pick up the keybindings the other way around lol. I’ve heard very good things about Helix, of course
As another longtime Vi user - I had a hell of a time & wound up switching back lol
I think for a lot of folks Helix would be intuitive. Vi has her hooks in me, though.

I set mine to

I use it to backup important work to an external drive.

pushd and popd to change directory and go back when done there.
Even better when
cdautomatically invokespushd.what’s your alias?
cd -undoes the last cd. Not quite push/popd but still useful. Pro tip, works also: git checkout -Hell yeah. Every one of these threads makes me more inclined to read man pages
You should. These are the actually sources to learn.
CTR + u will delete the whole command. I use that a lot so I don’t have to backspace. It’s saved me a ton of time

., to cycle through arguments used in previous commandsThis is great for when you type in your root password incorrectly!
I just use control C, is there a difference other than whether the line shows up or not?
How about ctrl+c to cancel and clear the command you are typing? It’s much easier because you only need 1 hand, and does not impact your shell’s history.
