#Shell Aliases

This repo contains shell scripts that make life easier in CLI. As far as I know, the same code works in both bash and zsh. Just copy and paste the shell script contained in the .bashrc file into the .bashrc or .zshrc file located in your home folder and you should be good to go!

#Usage

##h This alias makes it slightly easier to go to your home directory

##b [levels]

This alias goes up your directory by [levels] many levels. If no arguments are detected, it goes up your directory by 1 level. Here are some examples:

If: /you/are/this/many/layers/deep/in/your/file/system
>> b		-> /you/are/this/many/layers/deep/in/your/file
>> b 3		-> /you/are/this/many/layers/deep
>> b 5		-> /you
>> b		-> /
Congrats, you have escaped back to your root directory!

##f [substr]

This alias looks at the current list of subdirectories and matches their names to find [substr], if the name matches, you will be redirected to that subdirectory. If there are multiple matches, you will go to the first subdirectory found with a matching name.

##nr [repo-name] [username]

This alias does all the following at the same time:

  1. make new directory with [repo-name]
  2. change directory to [repo-name]
  3. creates .gitignore file
  4. initializes git
  5. adds .gitignore to git staging area
  6. add git remote origin with information provided by [username]
  7. commits and pushes first commit with .gitignore to master

I used this alias to create this repo.

Bonus: if you do not want to enter your username and password, just change the curl request where the argument after -u is formatted as [username]:[password]. Then, hardcode your username by replacing $2 with [username] in the line where it adds a new git remote. (Probably DEFINITELY not secure)

Example:

git remote add origin "git@github.com:[username]/$1.git"
curl -u '[username]:[password]' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d "$json"
