Alias vs Functions ​

interesting discussion came up here:
Docker Compose Notes

Which is better, an alias or a function?

Function ​

dew() {
  docker-compose exec web $@
}
dew() {
  docker-compose exec web $@
}

The $@ part handles passing along all of the function’s arguments.

Timing a process ​

just prefix the command you want to time with time!

time ls
time ls

Environment Variables ​

Often need to append to the PATH so a new executable is matched via the CLI. Should not put in .bashrc according to:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26047/how-to-correctly-add-a-path-to-path

I just put it in .bashrc 😛

PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

No need for export if the variable already exists

history ​

The history command is a useful way to see what commands have been run recently. If you want to document the steps taken, it helps to remove line numbers first:

history | cut -c 8-
history | cut -c 8-

via:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7110119/bash-history-without-line-numbers

If you need to edit the history data (like if you accidentally pass sensitive information to a command via the CLI -- it happens), you can edit the data directly in either ~/.bash_history or ~/.bash_profile.

The history command can be used to remove a specific line from history:

history -d 1
history -d 1

And if you want to clean the entire history:

history -c
history -c
