Any extra tips or tricks are welcome!

Yesterday I learned that set -x enables trace for a bash, sh, or zsh script and prints the trace to the terminal.

In Bash, I like to use cdargs

sudo apt-get install cdargs

It allows you to set up shortcuts on the fly,

cv sdbackup

rather than cd /media/user/Backup Plus/ MyFiles/current/sdbackup

cv with no argument will give you a list to select from current shortcuts

Of those mentioned, this one intrigues me most. Thanks!
