I have started my daily drawing journey which i still am bad at it. To create a new .kra files files every day I use this

#/usr/bin/bash

days=$(</var/home/monika/scripts/days)
echo "$days"

file_name=/var/home/monika/Pictures/Art/day$days.kra

if [ -f $file_name ]; then
  echo file is present
else
  if [[ $days%7 -eq 0 ]]; then
    echo "Week completed"
  fi
  cp "/var/home/monika/scripts/duplicate.kra" $file_name
  flatpak run org.kde.krita $file_name
  echo $(($days + 1)) >/var/home/monika/scripts/days
fi

I'll share 3:

alias chx='chmod +x'
alias rr='rm -rf'
alias shrug="echo '¯\_(ツ)_/¯'"

My desktop text editor has an autosave feature, but it only works after you've manually saved the file. All I wanted is something like the notes app on my phone, where I can jot down random thoughts without worrying about naming a new file. So here's the script behind my text editor shortcut, which creates a new text file in ~/.drafts, names it with the current date, adds a suffix if the file already exists, and finally opens the editor:

#!/bin/bash

name=/home/defacto/.drafts/"`date +"%Y%m%d"`"_text
if [[ -e "$name" || -L "$name" ]] ; then
    i=1
    while [[ -e "$name"_$i || -L "$name"_$i ]] ; do
        let i++
    done
    name="$name"_$i
fi
touch -- "$name"
pluma "$name" #replace pluma with your editor of choice

To answer your question realistically I did history | sed "s/.* //" | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

which returned as first non standard command lr which from my grep lr ~/.bashrc is alias lr="ls -lrth"

$ which diffuc
diffuc: aliased to diff -uw --color=always

$ which grepnir
grepnir: aliased to grep -niIr

$ cat `which ts`
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" -lt 1 ]; then
                tmux list-sessions
                exit
fi

if ! tmux attach -t "$1"
then
                tmux new-session -s "$1"
fi

For doing stuff in a directory, I use a replacement for cd command.

For aliases:

alias +='git add'
alias +p='git add -p'
alias +u='git add -u'
alias -- -='cd -'
alias @='for i in'
alias c='cargo'
alias date='LANG=C date'
alias diff='cdiff'
alias gg='git grep -n'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'
alias ll='ls -o'
alias ls='ls -vFT0 --si --color=auto --time-style=long-iso'
alias rmd='rmdir'

I also have various small scripts and functions:

• a for package management (think apt but has simplified arguments which makes it faster to use in usual cases),
• e for opening file in Emacs,
• g for git,
• s for sudo.

And here’s ,:

$ cat ~/.local/bin/,
#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
	paste -sd,
else
	printf '%s\n' "$@" | paste -sd,
fi

I've stolen a bunch of Git aliases from somewhere (I don't remember where), here are the ones I ended up using the most:

g=git
ga='git add'
gau='git add --update'
gcfu='git commit --fixup'
gc='git commit --verbose'
'gc!'='git commit --verbose --amend'
gcmsg='git commit --message'
gca='git com
gd='git diff'
gf='git fetch'
gl='git pull'
gst='git status'
gstall='git stash --all'
gstaa='git stash apply'
gp='git push'
'gpf!'='git push --force-with-lease'
grb='git rebase'
grba='git rebase --abort'
grbc='git rebase --continue'

I also often use

ls='eza'
md='mkdir -p'
mcd() { mkdir -p "$1" && cd "$1" }

And finally some Nix things:

b='nix build'
bf='nix build -f'
bb=nix build -f .'
s='nix shell'
sf='nix shell -f'
snp='nix shell np#'
d='nix develop'
df='nix develop -f'

Because using docker can sometimes cause ownership issues if not properly configured in your docker-compose.yml, I just added an alias to ~/.zshrc to rectify that.

-edit- Only run this script in your user owned directories, e.g. anything from ~/ (or /home/<your_username>) you might otherwise cause ownership issues for your system.

## Set ownership of files/folders recursively to current user
alias iownyou="sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP"

I usually set up an alias or script to update everything on my system. For example, on Ubuntu, I would do this: alias sysup='snap refresh && apt update && apt upgrade'

And on Arch, I do this: alias sysup ='flatpak update && paru'

Funny enough you'd need to use sudo to run this on Ubuntu, but not in the Arch example because paru being neat

Ooooh tmpv is a smart name for your little tool. I may steal it lol

I replaced rm with trash-put, just in case I realize I need some files that I removed down the line.

alias rm='trash-put'

Official author don't recommend it due to different semantics. But honestly for my own personal use case its fine for me.

Also I like to alias xclip:

alias clippy='xclip -selection clipboard'

# cat things.txt | clippy

For docker: I’m not following best practices. I have a giant docker compose file for my entire home lab, this is how I update things:

alias dockpull="docker compose pull"
alias dockup="docker compose up -d --remove-orphans"

For me it's pretty basic. It's mostly aliases for nix related commands, like rebuild-switch, updating, garbage collecting, because those nix commands are pretty lenghty, especially with having to point to your flake and everything. I'm thinking of maybe adding an alias for cyanrip (cli cd ripper), because i recently ripped my entire cd collection, but going forward if i buy another cd every now and then, i'll probably end up forgetting about which flags i used.

Similar to yours OP I copy many URLs and then run my script that takes the number of URLs I copied eg 5,and downloads them with yt-dlp and GNU parallel to ~/Videos

I use CopyQ to hold the clipboard history.

ls(){
    rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
}

Normt on mine tho
