I try to not customize any of my tools, neither ides, because I get used to it and then when I change of machine (borrowed, workpc, homepc, servers) I get stuck. Yes you can import or reconfigure but in an emergency you don't have time.

It's really good idea to use aliases for long and complicated commands. Some are unnecessary "commit" for "com" seriously? It's commit difficult? How many commits we do to need that?

I always carry a txt with large commands, for ssh cli, etc.
