This should be fun. Share your alias collection. :)

Just think it might be fun to share Aliases and bashrc files. Perhaps some of you
gearheads don't even use bash anymore? It would be nice to see what nifty aliases
you folks have created.

Just thought it might be fun ..

My alias has been the same ever since I hopped on the internet. Either Eadwine, or Eadwine Rose (back when I needed a last name for yahoo )

My .bashrc doesn't have many entries.

sudo apt-get update .. saud
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. saug
sudo apt-get install .. install
clear screen .. cls
la .. ls -Al
ps .. ps auxf

That is pretty much it.

I dl'ed the Ultimate bashrc, so that should be interesting.

The only one I have was worked out by a some people here a couple of years ago for use in a terminal as regular user (F4):


alias up='su -c "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"'

Hi Jerry, that is a good one. I had to "su --help" to check and see
what the -c was for. It is to:

Options: -c, --command COMMAND pass COMMAND to the invoked shell

Thanks!

I've used the same .bashrc for years, mostly to colorize the display.

alias ls='ls -al --color=auto'

I used to have an alias to create a list of all installed software but had to change it to a script so that LuckyBackup would run it when I did my back ups. Others have added on to the original to do the same thing but create slightly different outputs.

dpkg --get-selections > /home/chris/Documents/Computer/My_Sys_Info/MX-pkg-list.txt
dpkg -l > /home/chris/Documents/Computer/My_Sys_Info/MX-pkg-list2.txt
dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/{ print $2 }' | grep -v -e ^lib -e -dev -e linux-image -e linux-headers > /home/chris/Documents/My_Sys_Info/MX-pkg-list3.txt
