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

I've got the standard ones (l, ll, ls) to be forms of ls -flags

df = df -h
mv = mv -i
rm = rm -i
nix-switch = sudo nix-rebuild --switch flake .
nix-upd = nix flake update
systat = systemctl status
sysena = sudo systemctl enable
systop = sudo systemctl stop

Digging the systemctl ones. I added myself to the group so that I wouldn't have to write sudo each time, but I might as well alias the entire prompt for restart and status to make it even shorter

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.
