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.

From bash to zsh and everywhere in between, show me yours and I'll show you mines. Inspire others or get some feedback.

Simply copy & paste the output of alias in your terminal or add some comments to explain things for others.

Edit: Kbin users, click 'More' on a comment and use the fediverse link to read responses that have funky formatting

./ and . Are two different things to your shell

I know; I'm not talking about ./. I put the slash outside the inline codeblock in the parent comment.

My shell is setup with a chdir hook to [[ -r. /.autoenv.zsh ]] && . ./.autoenv.zsh.

(Edit: Jerboa is bugged with "&" in codeblocks, that should be a "&&", not &&)

Ah, ok. For me it was an alias common in the university labs back on Ultrix. Became a habit way back then.
