Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I've used a script that made 'up 4' a thing. Forgot to migrate it though.

    [–] witty_username@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Heyy I have that in my .bashrc
    Works a charm

    [–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

    Had it in my .zshrc. I should look for it, it was helpful

    Honestly I haven't tried this on Linux yet, but didn't Windows implement this somewhere along the way?...

    cd ....

    [–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    I aliased cd to a custom funtion in my bashrc to do this at one point, but cd ../../../.. is too engrained so I never rembered to use it.

    You will probably like zoxide (i am not sure about policy on links here, but here you go https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide)

    [–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Zoxide is nice, or use Yazi so you can actually see where you're going.

    Why no cd /////// speceficterm if you know how deep it is

    Those are supposed to be stars. I'm not fixing this on a phone

    [–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    The history of the CTO at a previous job was filled with dc and sl because he was a fucking moron. Yes I'm still bitter that he earned way more money than me who had to fix all his mess.

    I feel called out. Should definitely make an alias or two that auto CDs me the amount of times I need...

    [–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

    td aliased to cd $(whatever the command is to get the git root directory)

    [–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    I guess if you enjoy being a virgin that much you can do it that way.

    [–] Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

    Well, mom said I could be anything when I grew up...

    [–] astrsk@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

    z myDir

    [–] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

    Nah, I always cd to full path, that way I can easily use my history to move back there

    [–] Shanmugha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

    cd /some/thing/i/remember

    [–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

    Childhood me with only MS-DOS machines is all feeling nostalgic.

    [–] moopet@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

    git () { if [ "$1" = "cd" ] then shift cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*" else command git "$@" fi }
