This will list all the files that are a gigabyte or larger in the current working directory. Change the G in the regex to be a M and you'll find all files that are a megabyte up to but not including a gigabyte. Show Sample Output

OSX users as well as linux users with copy/paste buffer commands can remove duplicate items from their copy buffer with this command. I use this often when I have to copy a long list of items that I didn't generate, but I need to paste elsewhere in a list that's unique. If retaining the original order of lines isn't important to you, use the following command which is easier to remember. pbpaste | sort | uniq | pbcopy
0pbpaste | awk ' !x[$0]++' | pbcopy -
0du --max-depth=1 -h --apparent-size | sort -rh
-

Returns a list, with attributes (think `ls -l`), in reverse chronological order. N is a single numeric parameter. Robust against unfriendly filenames and directory structures. Show Sample Output
0nmf() { find . -type f -printf '%T@ ' -print0 -printf '\n' | sort -rn | head -"$1" | cut -f2- -d" " | tr -d "\0" | tr "\n" "\0" | xargs -0 ls -Ulh; } -
by determining most popular use in history using percentage . Show Sample Output
0history | awk '{CMD[$2]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a;}' | grep -v "./" | column -c3 -s " " -t | sort -nr | nl | head -n10 -
This is a alternate command I like to use instead of TOP or HTOP to see what are the processes which are taking up the most memory on a system. It shows the username, process ID, CPU usage, Memory usage, thread ID, Number of threads associated with parent process, Resident Set Size, Virtual Memory Size, start time of the process, and command arguments. Then it's sorted by memory and showing the top 10 with head. This of course can be changed to suit you needs. I have a small system which is why Firefox is taking so much resources. Show Sample Output
0watch -n .8 'ps -eaLo uname,pid,pcpu,pmem,lwp,nlwp,rss,vsz,start_time,args --sort -pmem| head -10' -
0tr "\|\;" "\n" < ~/.bash_history | sed -e "s/^ //g" | cut -d " " -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -20
-
0history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
-
0ps aux | awk '{if ($5 != 0 ) print $2,$5,$6,$11}' | sort -k2rn | head -10 | column -t

This commands will make it easier to select only common items between two files being compared. If your lines start with things other than lowercase a-z, adjust this Regex appropriately. Number of lines in the output has been set to no more than 10000, and should be adjusted as needed.
-1gdiff --unified=10000 input.file1 inpute.file2 | egrep -v "(^\+[a-z]|^\-[a-z])"| sort > outputfile.sorted -
Thanks for the submit! My alternative produces summaries only for directories. The original post additionally lists all files in the current directory. Sometimes the files, they just clutter up the output. Once the big directory is located, *then* worry about which file(s) are consuming so much space.
-1du -kd | egrep -v "/.*/" | sort -n -
Essentially the same as funky's alias, but will not traverse filesystems and has nicer formatting. Show Sample Output
-1alias dush="du -xsm * | sort -n | awk '{ printf(\"%4s MB ./\",\$1) ; for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) { if (i>1) printf(\"%s \",\$i) } ; printf(\"\n\") }' | tail" -
% lsof -v lsof version information: revision: 4.78
-1lsof | awk '/*:https?/{print $2}' | sort -u -
Deletes capistrano-style release directories (except that there are dashes between the YYYY-MM-DD) Show Sample Output
-1find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -Pv "^.$" | sort -rn --field-separator="-" | sed -n '3,$p' | xargs rm -rf - ‹ First < 4 5 6 7 8 >
