Stay in the loop…

Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Know a better way?

If you can do better, submit your command here.

What others think

So, i'd like to use that command but I am, on the other hand, not sure about how to use it? Where do I put the weblink into that comman?

thanks in advance,

Set it up as an alias, and feed the full url in as an argument.

Comment by Amorymeltzer 127 weeks ago

Hm, the alias-version doesn't work, bash can't load the alias, if I try to use alias alias chan="curl $1 | grep -i "File

. chan won't be recommendet wenn pressing tab and the bash says "bash: a: No such file or directory", so what am I supposed to do?

best regards,

bmn
