Flip from one directory to another

if you cd into a directory then cd into another directory somewhere else then you run the cd - command you will go to the previous directory you was in!! To go back to the other directory just run it again. So if you are working in 2 different directories then this is the perfect command for you.

Easily find an old command you run

I know how hard it is to find an old command running through all the files because you couldn't remember for your life what it was. Heres the solution!! Grep the history for it. depending on how old the command you can head or tail or if you wanted to search all because you cannot think how long ago it was then miss out the middle part of the command. This is a very easy and effective way to find that command you are looking for.

Delete lines in a text file fast

If you want to delete lines fast then all you need to do is vi/vim a text file, type in the amount of lines you want to delete (in my example I wanted to delete 10056 lines) followed by dd (no spaces). There will be no output so becareful with what number you type.
