For example, things you do often but not often enough to make a muscle memory? On Linux systems with Bash, I just use bash aliases. If I do it more than once, It gets an alias or a script; cause I won’t remember next time. Example of my current desktop aliases :...
I’m using Fish, rather than Bash, and it has type-ahead suggestions, which help a lot.
So, I’ll type rsync and then it’ll show inline that I typed rsync -ah --info=progress2 a long time ago. And then I’ll be like, oh wow, this past-me-guy was very smart, I’ll be having the same.
Obviously, this is an imperfect system. If you run another rsync command without these flags, it won’t directly show these flags next time, because it’s not the most recent entry in history.
But it’s rare that I know I’ll want to run a command again in a few months, so it’s still really helpful.
And of course, there is nothing stopping me from creating aliases and scripts as well.
How do you recall your most used commands?
