dc is docker compose on my servers and yes, I often mistype dc/cd

Same, it's a very handy alias

The most useful for me is probably ~~"ln = ls -n"~~

It's supposed to be "lsn = ls -n".

I originally had

alias ll="ls -la"

Now it is

alias ll="eza --all --long --header --group --time-style=long-iso --git --icons --group-directories-first"

What if you need to create a link?

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago

I mistyped. I have it set as lsn.

[-] icelimit@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Clearly not enough aliases

In true accordance to the post. I mistyped. I have it set as lsn.

No thanks. I choose life. Though it reminds me of this little gem

Wasted my time watching it, I'm Glas I don't have your brain as it does not relate at all.

Should have left ‘sl’ for the train!

I only have one alias: alias rm=trash-rm

EDIT: Sorry. It's actually alias rm=trash

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Should that not be alias rm=trash-put ?

My distro tells me that trash-rm comes from the package trash-cli and the README of that says that trash-rm removes files from the trashcan.

Mint comes with dir aliased for ls, and the only other one I regularly use is cls for clear.

Yes I grew up on DOS, how can you tell?

[-] wheezy@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

People type clear instead of CTRL+L?

I've never had a terminal that that didn't work in. Or at the very least have a shortcut be able to be set for.

Powershell does the opposite, having an alias from ls to whatever the powershell equivalent of dir is.

Actual reality:

ctrl-c ctrl-v

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
