So yesterday I was reading this article where this guy was doing stuff with the Arch Linux package manager. I guess as a joke the guy did this:
yay opera browser
Then to uninstall it he went
eww opera-bin
Well that really got me thinking. What other crazy stuff can you alias?
Sudo
This one is on that people do all the time. A few good ones I have done is:
please (a really popular one)
your_majesty
kittypower (made this one up)
flowerpower
all_hail
just_do_it
Now you really don't want the alias to be too long, but doing this can make using the command line really fun.
The Package manager
I don't see this one done as much as sudo. But I can say when you alias both sudo and your package manager you can end up with stuff like:
kittypower catnip install []
(I am a cat lover)
A few good ones I know are:
icanhav
gimme
iwant
furball
You can also alias a full command like:
goodnight_sweet_prince = 'sudo shutdown -h now'
pewpewpew = 'kill' or 'sudo pacman -R'
your_fired = 'exit'
kthxbye = 'exit'
Drop your favorite aliases in the comments! And remember to have fun!
