Bash is super powerful.

File System Full

Show Remaining Space on Drives

        
df -h

show largest files in current directory

        
du . -h --max-depth=1

Move files then symlink them

        
mkdir /mnt/mounted_drive
mv ~/bigdir /mnt/mounted_drive
ln -s /mnt/mounted_drive/bigdir ~/bigdir

Fuzzy One Liners

        
a() {source activate "$(conda info --envs | fzf | awk '{print $

edit in vim

        
vf() { fzf | xargs -r -I % $EDITOR % ;}

cat a file

        
vf() { fzf | xargs -r -I % $EDITOR % ;}

bash execute

        
bf() { bash "$(fzf)" }

git add

        
gadd() { git status -s | fzf -m | awk '{print $2}' | xargs git add && git status -s}

git reset

        
greset() { git status -s |  fzf -m | awk '{print $2}' |xargs git reset && git status -s}

Kill a process

        
fkill() {kill $(ps aux | fzf | awk '{print($2)}')}

Finding things

Files

fd-find is amazing for finding files, it even respects your .gitignore file 😲. Install with apt install fd-find.

        
fd md

        
ag -g python

        
find . -n "*.md"

++Vanilla Bonus

Content

** show matching text **

        
ag python

        
grep -iR Python

++Vanilla Bonus

** show file names only **

        
ag -l python

        
grep -iRl python

++Vanilla Bonus

Recursively Replace text

        
agr() {ag -l "$1" | xargs sed -i "s/$1/$2/g"}

++Vanilla Bonus

        
grepr() {grep -iRl "$1" | xargs sed -i "s/$1/$2/g"}

Extending **agr** or **grepr**

There are so many options inside of grep, ag, and sed that you could many an enormous amount of these if you really wanted to, but I like to keep it simple. These cover 90% of my usage. If I wanted to change something in the second half I would just paste in this command and edit it. More often though I want to limit the input, say only replace word1 to word2 inside of markdown files.

Limited Scope

        
fd md | xargs argr python python3

        
find . -n "*.md" | xargs grepr python python3

++Vanilla Bonus

refactor-in-cli

I use these replace commands heavily when doing large refactorings.

conditionally configure

I like this one when there is not a good cli into config files and I need to replace something like a true to false if the value is in the config and append to the config if its not.

        
grepr() {
    # replaces first string with second string inside file from third argument
    # example:
    #   grepr "allow_conda_downgrades:.*" "allow_conda_downgrades: true" ~/.condarc
    if grep -xq $1 $3
    then
        sed -i "s|$1|$2|g" $3
    else
        echo "$2" >> $3
    fi
}

Watch the time

        
watch -n 1 date

++Vanilla Bonus

with figlet

        
watch -n 1 bash -c "date | figlet"

watch a function

        
run () {
date
aws s3 sync $BUCKET .
}
export -f run
watch -n 10 run

if conda environment does not exist create it

        
conda info --envs | grep my_env && echo "my_env environment is installed" || conda create -n my_env python=3.8 -y
source activate my_env

Rename multiple files

more info from linuxize

        
for f in *.png; do
   mv ${f} prefix-${f}
done

using the rename command

        
sudo apt install rename

convert all files in a directory to unix

        
dos2unix **/*

recursively remove all whitespace from .py files

        
find **/*.py -type f -exec sed -i 's/ *$//' '{}' ';'

recursively autopep8

        
find . -name '*.py' -exec autopep8 --in-place '{}' \;

make bash script a runnable command

include a shebang

        
#! /bin/bash

chmod

        
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/my_script

accept positional input

        
#! /bin/bash
input=$1
echo input

✦ ❯ Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 5000 (http://0.0.0.0:5000/) ...

✦ ❯ ps aux | grep "python -m http.server" | grep -v grep | pyp 'line.split()[1]' | xargs kill
[1]  + terminated  python -m http.server 5000

replacement for wc

        
conda info --envs | pyp 'len(lines) - 3 # account for header and base'

print contents of shell function

        
declare -f <function-name>

batch rename files

        
for f in *.jpeg; do
    mv -- "$f" "${f%.jpeg}.jpg"
done

mu unregister all

I ran into some issues with mu unregister * before, but this seems to work everywhere.

        
mu list | tail -n +3 | xargs -I {} mu unregister {}

mu register all repos that have an rg match

Add all repos that have a versionspec of 3.7 in them.

        
rg --hidden=true 'versionSpec:.*.3.7' -l | xargs -I {} mu register {}
