From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I'll show you mines. Inspire others or get some feedback.

Simply copy & paste the output of alias in your terminal or add some comments to explain things for others.

Edit: Kbin users, click 'More' on a comment and use the fediverse link to read responses that have funky formatting

What... I didn't know this was a thing.

So I could make be "sudo gimme-dat-new-new" Instead of "sudo DNF upgrade -y"

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

you can just put "gimme-dat-new-new"

alias gimmie-dat-new-new='sudo dnf upgrade -y'

Although you should probably look over your upgrade before applying it as a general good practice. But, hey, I do this myself (dnfup instead of gimmie-dat-etc.), so I can't talk too much shit.

ETA: If you want it to be a persistent alias, though, you gotta add it to your .bashrc
