I Alias “sudo !!” with “plz”

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

What… I didn’t know this was a thing.

So I could make be “sudo gimme-dat-new-new” Instead of “sudo DNF upgrade -y”

(Bash-Specific)

App-Specific

alias battery='upower -i $(upower -e | grep 'BAT') | grep -E "state|to\ full|percentage"' # Get the battery level of my laptop server when I ssh into it

alias audio="yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3" # Download the audio version of a youtube video

alias wttr="curl wttr.in/Chicago" # Get the weather of my city in the terminal

Terminal Navigation

alias ba2sy="cp ~/.bash_aliases ~/Sync/" # copy my current iteration of my aliases to my shared syncthing folder so that it's accessible across devices

alias sy2ba="cp ~/Sync/.bash_aliases ~/" # replace the current iteration of my aliases w/ the synced version from my syncthing folder

alias mba='micro .bash_aliases' # open my aliases file in the modernized version of 'nano'

alias reload="source ~/.bashrc" # Quickly refresh my system so that the latest alias file is loaded

alias l='exa --group-directories-first -hlras modified --no-user --icons' # exa is a prettier version of ls. Options toggled: Human-readable, long format, reverse output, show hidden files/folders, sort by modified, hide the 'user' column since I'm the only one that uses the computer, and show the icons to make it look fancy```

Replaced Commands

alias cat='batcat --theme=ansi ' # Replace generic output of cat w/ a formatted version. This is bat (batcat in Debian)

alias rm='trash ' # Instead of auto-deleting files, put them in the 'trash' bin for 30 days, then delete.

Server & Docker-related

alias lazy='/home/macallik/.local/bin/lazydocker' # Run Docker

alias pad='ssh MyPad20334' # shorthand to ssh into my server

Some QoL stuff my good friend set-up for me.

# ALIASES -- EXA
alias ls='exa --group-directories-first --color=auto -h -aa -l --git'

# ALIASES -- YAY
alias yy='yay -Y --needed --norebuild --nocleanafter --nodiffmenu --noredownload --nocleanmenu --removemake --sudoloop'
alias ya='yay -S --needed --norebuild --nocleanafter --nodiffmenu --noredownload --nocleanmenu --removemake --sudoloop'
alias yu='yay -R --recursive --nosave'

# ALIASES -- CP
alias cp="cp --reflink=auto -i"

And then there’s a bunch of stuff from the output of alias, most of them are git aliases. Those which aren’t git-related are listed below:

-='cd -'
...=../..
....=../../..
.....=../../../..
......=../../../../..
1='cd -1'
2='cd -2'
3='cd -3'

7='cd -7'
8='cd -8'
9='cd -9'

cp='cp --reflink=auto -i'
egrep='grep -E --color=auto --exclude-dir={.bzr,CVS,.git,.hg,.svn,.idea,.tox}'
fgrep='grep -F --color=auto --exclude-dir={.bzr,CVS,.git,.hg,.svn,.idea,.tox}'
history=omz_history
l='ls -lah'
la='ls -lAh'
ll='ls -lh'
ls='exa --group-directories-first --color=auto -h -aa -l --git'
lsa='ls -lah'
md='mkdir -p'
rd=rmdir
run-help=man

alias nano='nano -l'

my only one, to have line numbers when searching for errors in log files

My favorite one: alias upgrate=“sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade”
