Not a command as much as I press the up arrow a lot. I'm.pretty lazy and hitting the up arrow 12 times is easier then retyping a complex rsync command.

Not a command but bang expansions. For example !? is the args of last command useful for stuff like mkdir foo ; cd !?

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/bash-bang-commands learn these. you suck at using your computer if you don't know them.

sudo rm -rf /

Very powerful yet helpful command :-)

I did this on my personal computer just to prove a point.

I learned you can edit .bashrc (in your home dir) and update the alias for ls to include what I like. It has saved me lots of keystrokes. Mine is ls -lha in addition to whatever color coding stuff is there by default.

Seems like an appropriate place to share https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps

I'm a fan of ripgrep and lsd in particular.

For Debian based/descended distros:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

And technically I also regularly use

redshift -O 3000

all of the blue light filter programs try to align themselves with a user's geographic location and time, but I don't keep normal hours

Chuck the -y in there for extra lazy mode

I would but much like somebody else's recent post I have in the past nuked my install by blindly agreeing to some recommended software removals before. These days I like to double check what packages are being updated and replaced.

g-push which is alias for

git push origin `git branch --show`

Which I'm writing on my phone without testing or looking

I've recently started using tmux when starting a new SSH session to try to build the habit.
