I Alias "sudo !!" with "plz"
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

I rawdog every single command, I use no aliases at all.
I couldn't even work if I had aliases in my muscle memory. Imagine ssh'ing to a server and every second command you issue doesn't exist because it's some weird alias you set up for yourself.
I'll stick with the "pure" command and use tab completion.
That's also part of the reason why I don't use some of the fancy new tools like ripgrep and exa.
Yeah, I remember when Linux was first becoming cool, in the mid-to-late 90s.
There was a lot of folk wisdom going around, and one of them was "make an alias rm='rm -i'
so you don't accidentally delete anything!"
And then there was the (correct, IMHO) counter-wisdom of "no, that actually makes it more likely to accidentally delete something, because one day you're going to be on a machine where that alias doesn't exist, but you've become dependent on it existing".
I don't mind creating aliases to add colour or change formatting a little bit or something, but don't make an alias to keep yourself safe, because it'll probably backfire on you.

What... I didn't know this was a thing.
So I could make be "sudo gimme-dat-new-new" Instead of "sudo DNF upgrade -y"
you can just put "gimme-dat-new-new"
alias gimmie-dat-new-new='sudo dnf upgrade -y'
Although you should probably look over your upgrade before applying it as a general good practice. But, hey, I do this myself (dnfup instead of gimmie-dat-etc.), so I can't talk too much shit.
ETA: If you want it to be a persistent alias, though, you gotta add it to your .bashrc
(Bash-Specific)
App-Specific
alias battery='upower -i $(upower -e | grep 'BAT') | grep -E "state|to\ full|percentage"' # Get the battery level of my laptop server when I ssh into it
alias audio="yt-dlp -f 'ba' -x --audio-format mp3" # Download the audio version of a youtube video
alias wttr="curl wttr.in/Chicago" # Get the weather of my city in the terminal
Terminal Navigation
alias ba2sy="cp ~/.bash_aliases ~/Sync/" # copy my current iteration of my aliases to my shared syncthing folder so that it's accessible across devices
alias sy2ba="cp ~/Sync/.bash_aliases ~/" # replace the current iteration of my aliases w/ the synced version from my syncthing folder
alias mba='micro .bash_aliases' # open my aliases file in the modernized version of 'nano'
alias reload="source ~/.bashrc" # Quickly refresh my system so that the latest alias file is loaded
alias l='exa --group-directories-first -hlras modified --no-user --icons' # exa is a prettier version of ls. Options toggled: Human-readable, long format, reverse output, show hidden files/folders, sort by modified, hide the 'user' column since I'm the only one that uses the computer, and show the icons to make it look fancy```
Replaced Commands
alias cat='batcat --theme=ansi ' # Replace generic output of cat w/ a formatted version. This is bat (batcat in Debian)
alias rm='trash ' # Instead of auto-deleting files, put them in the 'trash' bin for 30 days, then delete.
Server & Docker-related
alias lazy='/home/macallik/.local/bin/lazydocker' # Run Docker
alias pad='ssh MyPad20334' # shorthand to ssh into my server

alias yu='yay -R --recursive --nosave'
# ALIASES -- CP

Good to see another exa user. Care to break down what yay does btw?
Ah, yay is an AUR helper, though I personally see it as a pacman
helper as well. Link here. Some of the flags and options that can be used for pacman
can be used for yay
, thus, some of the flags in the aliases I use are actually for pacman
. Anyways, on to the breakdown.
alias yy='yay -Y --needed --norebuild --nocleanafter --nodiffmenu --noredownload --nocleanmenu --removemake --sudoloop'
This one is what I use to look up for packages. The result of runnning yy «search term»
would be a list of packages matching the search term and prompting the user on which package(s) to install.
flag | description |
---|---|
-Y |
performs yay-specific operations. |
--needed |
(pacman) do not reinstall up to date packages |
--norebuild |
skips package build if in cache and up to date |
--nocleanafter |
do not remove package sources after successful build |
--noredownlod |
skip pkgbuild download if in cache and up to date |
--nodiffmenu |
don't show diffs for build files |
--nocleanmenu |
don't clean build PKGBUILDS |
--removemake |
remove makedepends after install |
--sudoloop |
loop sudo calls in the background to avoid timeout |
alias ya='yay -S --needed --norebuild --nocleanafter --nodiffmenu --noredownload --nocleanmenu --removemake --sudoloop'
This one is what I use for installing packages. Useful if I already know what package I would be installing.
flag | description |
---|---|
-S |
(pacman, extended by Yay to cover AUR as well) Synchronize packages. Packages are installed directly from the remote repositories, including all dependencies required to run the packages. |
alias yu='yay -R --recursive --nosave'
This one is what I use when uninstalling packages. I usually check the package name with something like yay -Qi «package-name-guess»
beforehand.
flag | description |
---|---|
-R |
(pacman, extended by Yay to also remove cached data about devel packages) Remove package(s) from the system. |
--recursive |
(pacman) Remove each target specified including all of their dependencies, provided that (A) they are not required by other packages; and (B) they were not explicitly installed by the user. This operation is recurisve and analogous to a backwards --sync operation. |
--nosave |
(pacman) Instructs pacman to ignore file backup designations. (This avoids the removed files being renamed with a .pacsave extension.) |
I actually don't know much about both yay
and pacman
myself, since the aliases were just passed onto me by the same friend who helped me (re-)install my system (long story) and set-up the aliases. Having looked all these up, however, I might make a few changes (like changing the --nocleanafter
and --nocleanmenu
options to their clean ones`).

what is vimx just wondering ?
Seems to be just normal vim, maybe some distros packages the binary (of vim with more options enabled at compile time) as vimx so that it doesn't conflict with another vim package (as an example vim-tiny). https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-vimx/
But only @aram@[email protected], can answer that for us.

For connecting as root with a private key on my main server named Undine Sous Speed.
My favorite one: alias upgrate="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"
ahhh a pormanteau lol, I like it
A different way to do the usual ..="cd .."
and endless chains of ...="cd ../.."
types of aliases:
bash
/ksh
version:..() { local count="${1:-1}" local path="../" while (( --count > 0 )); do path="$path../" done cd -- "$path" }
zsh
single-line version:..() { cd $(printf "../%.s" {1..${1:-1}}) }
These take the number of directories that you want to move up as an argument (e.g. .. 3
),
otherwise they move you up one directory when used with no arguments.
