<p>I use <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/unix.html" title="Apple - Mac OS X Leopard - Technology - UNIX">the standard shell</a> in <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/" title="Apple - Mac OS X Leopard">OS X</a> which is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash" title="Bash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia">bash</a>. A while back I learned about aliases and got hooked. Now I have <a href="http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php#alias" title="BASH Help - A Bash Tutorial">bash aliases</a> all over my workflow.</p>
<p>Some are specific to my work or projects, though most are not. I'm sure some of these could be a little better here and there, but I'm pretty happy with the state of things.</p>
<p>If you have any good ones that I would like send them over in the comments.</p>
<p>So without further Apu, here is my .bash_login contents.</p>
