From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Share a script/alias you use a lot (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What's a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

alias gl='git log'
alias server-name-here='ssh server-name-here'

I have a bunch of the server aliases. I use those and gl the most.

You can also use ssh shorthands in ~/.ssh/config

I do have the servers in ~/.ssh/config. I just got tired of typing ssh server and wanted the be able to just type server to ssh in.

We almost have the same setup then, I use

ssh_hostnames=$(grep "^Host " ~/.ssh/config | awk '!/*/ {print $2}')
for host in $ssh_hostnames
do
 alias $host="ssh $host"
done

in my .bash_aliases to parse the ~/.ssh/config file and cut off the 'ssh ' part automatically for every Host I have in there.

That is a lovely setup. I'm gonna drop that into my bash_aliases so much more elegant than me adding the alias for each server.
