SHARE WITH THE CLASS: What aliases are you using?

From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I'll show you mines. It's one of the many personalizable aspects of Linux. Why not share it to inspire others on what is possible or get feedback. You can simply copy & paste the output of 'alias' in your terminal or insert some comments to explain things for others. #sharewiththeclass #bash #zsh #aliases

I rawdog every single command, I use no aliases at all.

I couldn’t even work if I had aliases in my muscle memory. Imagine ssh’ing to a server and every second command you issue doesn’t exist because it’s some weird alias you set up for yourself.

I’ll stick with the “pure” command and use tab completion.

That’s also part of the reason why I don’t use some of the fancy new tools like ripgrep and exa.

That’s why I use a shell script to connect to servers instead of just ssh.

The script connects via ssh and then sets a bunch of aliases and then leaves me at a bash prompt.

Servers may be reimaged, so I can’t just have things in a .bashrc or whatever.
