I use a few "cute" mnemonics when there are some things I just can't remember and I'm curious as to what ones other people use.
For example:
For grep
, I usually can't remember if the pattern comes first or the file, so I think of my mother-in-law who cross stitches and the "pattern files" she uses: grep <pattern> <file>
For find
, similarly, I think of "location flags" planted in the world:
find <location> <flags>
Of course, tldr is the real hero here.
For markdown links, I usually can't remember if it's [text](link)
or (text)[link]
, but b comes before p, so brackets come before parenthesis.
Share yours!
P.S. The worst "anti-mnemonic" is how in Vim gg
goes to the beginning of the file, but in Starcraft, you always say "gg" at the END of the game :P
