Terminal is your friend

I work with javascript/typescript projects, some weird reason using terminal is significant part of my daily activity.

Sometime I almost forget which command are used. So I search which is the best way to document my important activity. My solution is extend any command with && echo :: <comment>. This is original bash solution, and easy to find by grep find below.

du -h -d 1 && echo :: size of directory

history 0 | grep ::

Alis can make your life easier. You can add following line to ~/.zshrc

alias h="history 0 | grep"

# or if use rg : rip-grep instead grep

alias h="history 0 | rg"

then you can wirte for example h clone to list your git clone links.

I use mac so I installed near every program by brew, and this is also help to remember outer application.

brew list

brew install zoxide

Few words about zoxide: this is hyperspace navigation throught directory.

After installed for example to ~\.zshrc by this:

eval "$(zoxide init zsh)"

You can use as smart cd, for example I have repo directory so:

z re

Repair/install code command on MacOS
