ll
df -h
du -sch
Ctrl+r
ls -al
I learned you can edit .bashrc
(in your home dir) and update the alias for ls to include what I like. It has saved me lots of keystrokes. Mine is ls -lha
in addition to whatever color coding stuff is there by default.
Not a command as much as I press the up arrow a lot. I'm.pretty lazy and hitting the up arrow 12 times is easier then retyping a complex rsync command.
nmtui. But that's because my router is trash.
Not a command but bang expansions. For example !?
is the args of last command useful for stuff like mkdir foo ; cd !?
https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/bash-bang-commands learn these. you suck at using your computer if you don't know them.

I'm a fan of ripgrep and lsd in particular.
I recently learned to use a for loop on the command line to organize hundreds of files in a few seconds.
jq
ncdu
For Debian based/descended distros:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Getting cheatsheets via curl cheat.sh/INSERT_COMMAND_HERE
No install necessary, Also, you can quickly search within the cheatsheets via ~
. For example if you copy curl cheat.sh/ls~find
will show all the examples of ls
that use find
. If you remove ~find
, then it shows all examples of ls
.
I have a function in my bash alias for it (also piped into more
for readability):
function cht() { curl cheat.sh/"$1"?style=igor|more }
du -sh /too/bar
to get size of files/folders. sudo !!
inserts sudo into previous command when forgotten. yay
for full system update if yay is installed. cat
reads files.
g-push
which is alias for
git push origin `git branch --show`
Which I'm writing on my phone without testing or looking
