bash aliases

Posted by Shane Becker on 2007-10-23 at 7:23pm

<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>

The distant future. The year 2000.

<p>I was going through some <em>old</em> backup cds and found mostly useless stupid shit, but I also found a few good photos. This is one of them. It was taken in the summer of 2000 in rural Missouri, near <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rutledge,+mo&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;z=16&amp;iwloc=addr&amp;om=1">Rutledge</a>, on my way to <a href="http://www.dancingrabbit.org/">Dancing Rabbit</a>.</p>

<p>I'm sure there's more. These are just the guiltiest offenders. I've been thinking about this list a lot lately so I wanted to get it out of my head.</p>
