20 Bash Tricks in 5 Minutes - Spencer Krum

From Ignite Velocity 2015 in New York: This will cover a number of neat tricks Spencer uses on the command line to make my life easier. Most of these tricks compose the standard unix utilities. Only one or two require any packages outside of the standard set.
At least one of these tricks will wow you so much that you’ll add it to your .bashrc on the spot. Spencer’s hope is that you will see the patterns he uses to construct these small utilities and you will start creating and using your own.

Finally I get to watch a linux video where i am pretty sure I know more than the speaker.

[@MuhsinFatih]

`git reset --hard origin/master` in aliases. you are playing with fire 😂

[@codylenz7587]

the way this hyperventillating man laughs while he speaks is very endearing.

[@PasqualItizzz]

If you don't use "aah" as an alias to 'push it' ... you're dead inside

[@samuelabreu4349]

Wait what

[@karolinabogacka8283]

I love that your initials are literally SKrum 🤣 born to be an IT lover

[@zoolkhan]

i think those that have to do with scrum do not always share the love

[@SteveGergetz]

How I wish I understood 5% of that.

[@Vagelis_Prokopiou]

Interesting stuff 👍

[@MG30001]

Misleading title. Better: 20 Git aliases for Bash

[@vadyacorp]

+O0oOo8oOo0O thanks, you saved me 5 minutes

[@totallytubularriverrentals4082]

useful! thanks!

[@ThreadPool]

Liked the talk except that some of them can be much simpler. For example, to get the top git directory: $ cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) Instead of that complex function with while loops.

4:11 semicolons can be used to mark the start of a new command, on a same line. Thus, they are useless at the end of the line. No ?

[@ParasScorpio]

thanks

[@cleatcase9865]

0:40 One-letter "commands" are easy, yes, and they can be dangerous because it is much easier to type one letter wrong, instead of one word. For that reason it's good Linux commands themselves, have two letters minimum

[@trejohnson7677]

Baby’s first bash

[@RakibFiha]

Anyway, the last one was good

[@Pesulda]

Where are the double quotes? :)

[@dominicparkhurst8773]

This is advanced I'm already scared

[@simpledomain007]

Woooooow

[@McPickleness]

The vim function code does not work as explained here. I made a different version, but it's not as simple and cutesy, which kind of defeats the cutesy-hacky-super-neato philosophy here. Although I could just be an idiot, which I'm advertising out loud just in case: stackoverflow.com/questions/65419739/why-does-this-git-grep-vim-shortcut-bash-code-not-work-as-advertised

[@payrus963]

nice
