Do you use aliases? - eviltoast

command line aliases to make repeated processes quicker. I’ve used them in the past and on specific programs but never on command line utilities.

like for instance with Debian, I’m repeatedly typing sudo apt-get install, so I aliased it: alias sagi=“sudo apt-get install” and it works pretty good.

Are there any best practices or aliases to avoid when using them? Other than known commands obviously. Are there popular alias lists out there?

    Yeah I imagine that was just a simple focus issue, like typing in the wrong tmux pane or sending terminal commands while his editor was focused. I’ve done that plenty of times.

    I think it’s a fun and useful package too. If there’s a moral to that story, it’s just to treat others with respect and avoid isolating yourself by discouraging feedback. Thefuck just made the anecdote colorful enough to share lol
