When there's a long command idiosyncratic to a codebase I actually throw it in my Slack messages to myself -- avoids multiplication of apps.
I should figure out how to alias these though-- any good resources?

I think I'd probably use Slack in that way if my company didn't have messages set to auto-delete after a certain amount of time

If you have idiosyncratic commands that are really common in a codebase, it might be helpful to create a development.md file for quick reference

That's a great idea!

I tend to have a scripts folder in my home dir, usually set up as executables with references to the working dir if needed. Shell aliases if they're more common.
