What's in your .bashrc/.zshrc?

I am a sucker for shortcuts, so have just added these:

alias mixec="mix ecto.create"
alias mixem="mix ecto.migrate"
alias mixps="mix phx.server"
alias iexmixps="iex -S mix phx.server"
alias iexsmix="iex -S mix"
alias iexs="iex -S mix"
alias mixpr="mix phx.routes"

I also have various others, such as:

PS1="[\W]\$ "
alias ll="ls -lahG"

alias code="cd /Users/Aston/projects/code"
alias home="cd /Users/Aston"
alias oss="cd /Users/Aston/projects/oss"
alias desktop="cd /Users/Aston/desktop"
alias some_project_name="cd /Users/Aston/projects/code/some_project_name"

alias showhidden="defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder"
alias hidehidden="defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false ; killall Finder"

vscode () { VSCODE_CWD="$PWD" open -n -b "com.microsoft.VSCode" --args $* ;}

Plus various others to shh to a server, upload/download files to/from a server, push certain scripts or rsync sites etc

Here is one I recently stumbled upon in the documentation for IEx:

export ERL_AFLAGS='-kernel shell_history enabled'

This enables IEx shell history between sessions.

Well, the most basic improvement is to get rid of bash and use zsh instead

My alias list is pretty much the default, only replacing ls by k.

Also I do have emacs, emats and emax as aliases to emacsclient to choose graphical/terminal mode automatically in the first or manually with the latter two. I wrote once about my emacs deamon setup in a blog post of mine and made my emacs config public.

I can’t publish the remainder of my dotfiles though, as the repository contains some secrets, I need to distribute in another way before publishing it again.

This is amazing! I’ve taken two minutes to perform the steps from your blog post, and already made up for them now, because of the near-instant loading of (Spac)emacs now.

Be aware though, that it now does only check for updates on reboot, manual restart using systemctl or when using M-x whatever-spacemacs-invokes-to-check-for-update. I’m not even sure if you can interact with spacemacs in the way necessary to confirm or deny an update.

Please take care of this in your surrounding configuration.

Here’s some of what I have:

#Elixir Phoenix
alias mps="mix phx.server"
alias ism="iex -S mix"
alias mt="mix test"
alias mts="mix test --stale"
alias mec="mix ecto.create"
alias mem="mix ecto.migrate"

#Git
alias gri="git rebase -i origin/master"
alias grif="git commit -am 'f' && git rebase -i origin/master"
alias gpf="git push origin $(git branch) --force-with-lease"
alias gs="git status"

#Vim
alias rmntl="find . -name '*Netrw*' -exec rm -f {} \;"

# display current git branch
parse_git_branch() {
     git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}

# Customize prompt to show only working directory and git branch.
export PS1="[\W]\[\033[34m\]\$(parse_git_branch)\[\033[00m\] $ "

Most of the time I use plugins from Sublime Text or Neovim to interact with Git, but here are a few aliases and functions.

# Aliases

alias g="git"
alias ga="git add"
alias gaa="git add --all"

alias gfo="git fetch origin"
alias ggpull="git pull origin $(git_current_branch)"
alias ggpush="git push origin $(git_current_branch)"
alias ghh="git help"
alias gl="git log"
alias gm="git merge"
alias gmom="git merge origin/master"
alias gp="git push"
alias gr="git reset"
alias grb="git rebase"
alias grh="git reset --hard"

# Functions
function zshconfig {
    nvim ~/.zshrc
    source ~/.zshrc
    echo "ZSH config was reloaded."
}

function gclone {
    git clone "https://github.com/${2:-$(whoami)}/$1.git"
}

function ginit {
    git init
    git add --all
    git commit -m ${1:-"Init repo"}
}

Oh lord, this one is a mess. I’ve went and added a bunch of comments so it’s not entirely horrible to read through.

I feel like you can learn some software development lessons from this one
Here’s my accompanying ~/.bash_login, basically just checks some birthday tracker thing I wrote (to learn Rust) for whose birthday it is and displays a random quote from fortune.

Hey, this one’s clean at least.

Also @AstonJ, seeing your aliases for moving around, you might want to take a look at z - it’s a huge timesaver for me for this common cd-ing around

I’m glad I started this thread now - definitely pinching stuff from it

Thanks, I will check it out Usually tho, I use those at a start of a session and tend to keep windows per project with multiple tabs (so one main one in the project directory, another for iex and another for phx.server of that project, etc)
