Discussion on: What are your favorite bash aliases?

View post

Some generic aliases I use often

alias poweroff="systemctl poweroff"
alias reboot="systemctl reboot"
alias v="vim"
alias sv="sudo vim"

For updating xrdb resource definitions quickly

alias xup="xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources"

For navigating to common directories

alias gtproj="cd ~/projects"
alias gtconf="cd ~/.config"

For quickly editing configs I touch frequently

alias exr="vim ~/.Xresources"
alias evim="vim ~/.vimrc"
alias ezsh="vim ~/.zshrc"
alias esxhkd="vim ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc"
alias ebspwm="vim ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc"
alias edunst="vim ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc"
alias epolytop="vim ~/.config/polybar/top.ini"
alias epolybot="vim ~/.config/polybar/bottom.ini"
alias epolycol="vim ~/.config/polybar/colors.ini"
alias epolyuser="vim ~/.config/polybar/user_modules.ini"
alias epolysys="vim ~/.config/polybar/system_modules.ini"

Those are different than mine, but definitely have the same idea! I haven't posted them here, but I have a lot of "cd" like aliases and "edit file" commands in there as well! Very useful aliases, nice!
