Ask HN: What is your suggested bash shell aliases for Linux?

I have a bunch of operating system and distro-sensitive aliases for installing, removing and upgrading software using whatever package manager the system has: https://github.com/eudoxia0/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.shell...

It really depends on what you're looking for (more towards development or sys admin stuff?)

I started out with http://dotfiles.github.io/ and then populated a Git repo from there.

Personally, I have things that make it easy to apply patches, create diffs, change to frequently used dirs and the likes.

Personally, I use `.` as an alias for a very flagged `ls`, and `..` as an alias for `cd .. && .`. It clobbers the existing `.` but it saves me a good bit of time navigating directories.

rm as an alias for rm -i ;)

alias please='sudo $(history -p !!)'

you can use: sudo !!

Well yes, that's just expanded in the alias. I just find please more polite.

v for vim

l for ls -ltr
