A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What’s a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

    I’ll share 3:

    alias chx='chmod +x'
alias rr='rm -rf'
alias shrug="echo '¯\_(ツ)_/¯'"

      i also have the chmod one, but mine is named just x:

      alias x='chmod +x'

      I also have the yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)" one, but its build around a custom script. So sharing it here makes no sense. Its funny how often we do same thing in different ways (extracting or creating archives in example). Often aliases get development into function and then they turn into scripts. For some of the more simple aliases, here a selection:

      alias f='fastfetch -l none'
alias vim='nvim'
alias baloo='balooctl6'
