This post features my ever-growing list of alias-es. I will write about my oh-my-zsh theme settings and plugins in another post 👍.
My zsh aliases are written in a separate file and loaded in my .zshrc file like so:
source $HOME/dotfiles/zsh/aliases.zsh
I'm using homebrew as my package manager.
Miscellaneous aliases
alias help="tldr"
Because those man pages can be quite intimidating, I prefer to use tldr for the first, quick glance.
alias top="sudo htop"
Interactive process viewer - to see what's hogging your memory. Good for killing processes fast!
alias yt="youtube-dl"
For quickly downloading youtube content. More about youtube-dl here.
alias reload="source ~/.zshrc"
For quickly reloading your zshrc config.
alias finder="open -a Finder ./"
Open your current directory in Finder (I'm not super good with copying and moving stuff around in terminal yet).
alias weather="curl -4 https://wttr.in/Brussels"
Check out the weather in your city.
alias cat='bat'
cat with syntax highlighting and other stuff. More about bat here.
alias md='mkdir -p'
Make a new directory only if one (with the same name) doesn't exist yet.
alias please=sudo
Because being polite is cool.
alias d='dirs -v | head -10'
Display the last ten directories.
