Comment on Filesystem inconsistency in Linux by wmalik

@lalithsuresh, thats true, but since Terminal A had deleted the old inode, ls should throw an exception rather than showing an empty directory.

Actually, this is perfectly consistent. Why? Because internally, the file system doesn’t use path names as identifiers but Inode ids. Terminal B can’t see the directory it was in previously, because the inode(s) it was seeing before doesn’t exist anymore. The new dummydir will have a new inode identifier.

A simple one I use is:
rf=”rm -rf”
And I’ve stolen the
p = “cd toprogramming top level dir”
from Lalith

Works for me

My favourites:

gc = git commit
ggpush=’git push origin $(current_branch)’
ggpull=’git pull origin $(current_branch)’

ai = sudo apt-get install
ac = sudo apt-cache search

v = vim

n = [cd into my folder with ns-3 repos]
p = [cd into the top folder of all my code]
o = [cd into my Dropbox folder]

… = cd ../../../
(and for more levels of cd-ing)

Got a whole lot more for git. And for recursive grepping, I use this tool called ack-grep. It’s fast and convenient.

Awesome! Here are a few more:

alias ltr=’ls -ltr’
alias peg=’ps -ef | grep’
alias pag=’ps aux | grep’

Here’s a few from my ~/.zshrc:

# more aliases
alias o=’xdg-open’
alias apti=’sudo apt-get install ‘
alias apts=’apt-cache search ‘
alias aptc=’apt-cache show ‘

And git shortcuts from ~/.gitconfig:

[alias]
st = status
ci = commit
br = branch
co = checkout
df = diff
lg = log -p
lol = log –graph –decorate –pretty=oneline –abbrev-commit
lola = log –graph –decorate –pretty=oneline –abbrev-commit –all
ls = ls-files

Happy hacking!
