I am currently looking for a way to easily store and run commands, usually syncing files between two deeply nested directories whenever I want.

So far I found these projects:

Other solutions:

  • Bash history using ^+r
  • Bash aliases
  • Bash functions

What do you guys use?

Obvious things I don’t see mentioned:

  • Bash scripts kept in the home directory or another place that’s logical for them specifically.
  • history | grep whatever (or other useful piping), though your older commands are forgotten eventually. You can mess with the values of HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE environment variables in your system.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
