My fellow nerds: a question about your personal machines:

What is your favourite quality-of-life tweak you've made to your system?

An alias? A utility, a setting, something in .bashrc or ~/bin?

I'd like to know.

@mhoye the prompt starts with a # and ends with a newline, so I can more easily copy the command out to share with others

@arrjay @mhoye at work I set mine to start with `:` and end with `;`, so one can not only copy the command but also the user, machine and path, and still be executable.

@mdione @arrjay @mhoye I do that! But I tend to edit down copied-out history anyway (remove my hostname etc), so I might as well not be doing it

@jmtd @mhoye @arrjay right. This is mostly for keeping record of manual procedures and their outputs.
