Ask HN: What do you Google every single time and never just memorize?

I use fish shell, which lets you create abbreviations. Abbreviations are like shell aliases, except that after you type them, they expand to the entire command -- so it helps you memorize the real thing as well! Also there's auto-complete, which helps you find your saved abbreviations.

For example, to save an abbreviation:

$ abbr undo-unpushed-commit 'git reset --hard HEAD^'

... later ...

Start typing a few chars and it'll suggest the rest:

$ undo-u|npushed-commit

Press the right arrow key to accept the suggestion

$ undo-unpushed-commit|

When you press enter or space, the abbreviation will expand:

$ git reset --hard HEAD^ |

---

There are a lot of other reasons to use fish shell. For example, when you save abbreviations or functions or aliases, they immediately persist and propagate to other shell windows!
