A recursive version might be useful too. /dev/tty is used to show which shell variables just got defined. Show Sample Output

When you use the "exit" command in a Linux terminal window, it not only closes the terminal window itself but also the terminal emulator app, such as GNOME Terminal or Konsole, that it belongs to. If you use the "exit" command on macOS, however, Terminal.app still shows a dot below its Dock icon and is still running in the background. This alias, when entered into ~/.zshrc, overrides this behavior.

Because this does not download more of the video than necessary, it is faster (especially with long videos).

This command monitors changes in the current folder structure (subfolders included) and files, and log it into a hidden file in the same folder, called `.file_changes_YYMMDD.log`. Modify the `--exclude` parameters to define what should be skipped. Show Sample Output

If you as the sole user of a computer at home only don’t like needing to repeatedly type a password each time you run a command, using ‘NOPASSWD’ in sudoers for your specific username is for you.

Searches for dates on lines by themselves. Uses that date to prepend all rows that contain SEARCHSTRING with the date, until it reaches another line with a date by itself. This fixed an issue with a specific log export where there would be a date, followed by all of the entries for that date.

Print the max wattage of the current power draw source for a Mac. Note that the current amount of watts drawn may be lower, particularly if a high-wattage adapter is plugged into a Mac that has a full battery. Show Sample Output

The effect is achieved by moving odd-numbered lines from right to left and even-numbered lines from left to right. For odd-numbered lines (with an index j), the ((j + i) % 2 == 0) condition is satisfied. In this case, the line width is set to i, resulting in the line moving from left to right. For even-numbered lines, the ((j + i) % 2 == 0) condition is not satisfied. The line width is set to $(tput cols) - i, causing the line to move from right to left. This alternating direction of movement creates a twisted visual effect as the lines appear to move in opposite directions. The code runs in a continuous loop, repeatedly updating the lines with changing background colors. There is a slight pause of 0.05 seconds between each iteration to control the speed of the animation.

This one-liner fills the screen with randomly colored lines.

A quick alias to check if a domain is already registered or if it's available for purchase. Show Sample Output

The fact that Linux exposes the ACPI tables to the user via sysfs makes them a gold mine of valuable hardware information for low-level developers. Looping through each of them and disassembling them all makes them even more valuable.

KDE apps expect certain variables to be set, and unfortunately pkexec doesn’t set them by default. So, by setting this alias, it becomes possible to run, e.g. “pkexec kate” or “pkexec dolphin” and it’ll actually run.

In this case I'm selecting all php files in a dir, then echoing the filename and piping it to ~/temp/errors.txt. Then I'm running my alias for PHPCS (WordPress flags in my alias), then piping the PHPCS output to grep and looking for GET. Then I'm piping that output to the same file as above. This gets a list of files and under each file the GET security errors for that file. Extrapolate this to run any command on any list of files and pipe the output to a file. Remove the >> ~/temp/errors.txt to get output to the screen rather than to a file. Show Sample Output

Fast and simple awk urldecoder! Note: Parameter -n is specific to GNU awk Show Sample Output

Resize `file.png` to a 32x32 px image. Use a value other than 32 to create other icon sizes (e.g. 16x16 or 32x32). Combine two favicon sizes using: `convert icon-16px.png icon-32px.png favicon.ico` For a social media preview image, use `2:1#` for the extent and `1200` for the scale.

This lists all the files in a folder, then finds the commit date for them one by one, then sorts them from newest to oldest

The Speak & Spell's sound chip uses a compressed audio format called "linear predictive coding". This command will read random bytes and attempt to decompress them as if it were audio data compressed in this format, then play it. This results in a unique sound which is similar to a glitching Speak & Spell.
