 Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2004 12:52 pm Post subject: show me your aliases |
 |
|
apologies if this is a duplicate - i did search the forums
before i posted.
since i was pondering on the possible uses of aliases,
i thought a thread on this, where people share their
aliases, would be a useful thing.
to start this off, here are mine:
| Code: | alias rm='rm -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias lx='ls --color=auto -Fs'
alias lh='ls --color=auto -Fsh'
alias free='freecolor -m'
alias root='sudo /bin/bash --login'
alias blank='echo < /dev/null >'
alias grep='grep --colour=auto'

Is this the kind of stuff you mean?
| Quote: | alias h=history
alias up='cd ..'
alias del='rm -i'
alias la='ls -a'
alias lst='ls -l'
alias dir='pwd; ls; ls | wc -w' # VAX style listing
# show size of subdirectories in K
alias csize='du -k | sort -r -n | more'
# a sort of recursive grep
alias rgrep='find . -name "*" | xargs grep '
# For old time Adventure fans
alias xyzzy='echo Nothing Happens'
alias plugh="echo That Doesn\'t Work Here" |

This should be a helpful thread in terms of getting ideas for my own alias file. 
Out of curiosity (and I did man ls), why do you have lx having only the -Fs arguments, and lh having -Fsh
i.e., what good is it to only have -Fs as opposed to -Fsh?
Great thread, btw...

Yeah, I think this could be an interesting thread. Maybe it would be better placed in Tips & Tricks though?

I very much like the following aliases which I haven't seen here yet:
| Code: | alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'
which emacs &>/dev/null && alias e='emacs'

Being basically lazy , I'm a fan of aliases. Arguably, there is some psychological influence in my choice of spam filter related aliases. From my user .bashrc:
| Code: |
alias bs='bogolearn.sh'
alias la='ls -a'
alias ll='ls -al'
alias lr='ls -LR'
alias ls='ls --color'
alias mx2='mogrify -resize 200%x200%'
alias mx15='mogrify -resize 150%x150%'
alias mx17='mogrify -resize 175%x175%'
alias tug='tar zxvf'
alias tub='tar jxvf'
alias tcg='tar czf'
alias tcb='tar cjf'
alias mf='mailfilter'
alias ntn='nano ~/depot/hardware/track_nos'
alias g='wget'
|
And the ones from root that don't overlap:
| Code: |
alias fnc='find /etc -iname '._cfg????*''
alias bk='make -j4 bzImage && make -j4 modules && make modules_install'
|
The entire files (and a few others) are listed here.
Oyarsa, I like your 'up' alias. I'll be adding that one to my list. |

you define aliases in ~/.bashrc. There are already a few aliases in there by default, so you can just add these to the list

Here is an other one for fast switching between source dir and build dir. kdecvs is the base under which the source dirs reside (i.e. kdecvs/kdebase) and kdecvs/build contains the build dirs named after the source dirs (i.e. kdecvs/build/kdebase). I have this alias since ages in my bashrc, it's from an KDE developer whose name I have forgotten (shame on me!):
| Code: | alias cb='cd `pwd | sed -e 's,kdecvs,kdecvs/build,'`'
alias cs='cd `pwd | sed -e 's,kdecvs/build,kdecvs,'`'

Here are a few I commonly use (tcsh syntax):
| Code: | alias forest 'ps -e --forest'
alias from 'grep '^From:' $MAIL'
# super-lp for duplex, 2 per side printing, with multiple files
alias slp 'a2ps -2rjA -s2 --medium=Letter'
alias rmtmp 'rm *~ #*#'
alias qfind 'find . -name'
# get info about latest kernel releases
alias kernelinfo 'finger @kernel.org'
alias mkthumb 'convert -resize 5%' |

This is no bash syntax, isn't it?
The manual says [ function ] name () { list; } |

You are probably right. These are bourne shell scripts which should
work in bash. They did for me here with bash-2.05a. I did have to
convert them, though since we use the csh shell at work. I'll check
when I get home what my linux box has in it.
It seams like I did get sloppy, though. My first two examples are
incorrect. They should be:
| Code: | alias lsd='ls -F | ls -d */'
alias lsp='ls *.c *.h *.cc *.pl *.pm'

Here's mine:
As you can see, I like typing.
On a personal note, I *hate* the "rm -i", "mv -i", etc aliases. As an old-time Unix user, I don't like the silly "are you sure" messages. If I tell you to rm -r /, then I want you to do it. |

Well, you can secure yourself selectivly. I have at least saved my root and home:
Well, here some lines from my .bashrc, comes in handy when developing Java:
| Code: |
function ..()
{
local i;
local p;
if [ $# == 0 ]; then
cd ..;
else
i=$1
p="."
while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do
p=$p/..
i=$((i-1))
done
cd $p
fi
}

OK. Here are the versions of decimal/hex conversion from my .bashrc file. This one
accepts any number of entries and gives you a result for each one. One per line.
# Convert decimal to hex
| Code: | d2h()
{
for param
do
echo 16o $param p | dc
done
} |
# Convert hex to decimal
| Code: | h2d()
{
for param
do
echo $param | tr '[a-f]' '[A-F]' | xargs -i echo 16i {} p | dc
done
} |
# Convert negative decimal to hex
| Code: | n2h()
{
for param
do
echo 16o 0 0 $param sa1 '[16*dla>y]sy' lyx '16*la' -p | dc
done
} |
# Convert hex to negative decimal
| Code: | h2n()
{
for param
do
echo $param | tr '[a-f]' '[A-F]' | \
xargs -i echo 16i {} dsa1 '[10*dla>y]sy' lyx -p | dc
done
} |

First off all, this thread needs to be moved. This is not a question of support. Gentoo Chat would be the correct forum.
When that is said, there was a thread last year about a similar topic, quick console tricks that covers the same topic
