Not this, but I do fairly often think assume I'm in vim when I'm not. `alias :q="echo NOT IN VIM!!!"`

My favorite one of these is typing ctrl-w (cut in emacs) in a browser tab as I am editing a bunch of text in a text box.

I disagree that your ‘ echo hello’ example is free of side effects. It writes to stdout. It overwrites $?. It changes the value of the last executed history command. Etc. About the only side effect free operation at a blank line terminal prompt is _probably_ hitting enter or ctrl c. Or ‘#something ’ But your idempotency examples are spot on. Basically, idempotency is a very useful concept. Side effect free isn’t.

> I disagree that your ‘ echo hello’ example is free of side effects. I posit that you understand perfectly well what i was getting at! If it helps, imagine that you are spawning a fresh shell to execute each command line, through system(3) or some such.

Fair enough!

Surprised how many are affirming this. Kind of a DAE moment. My fingers are a bit more tame from having spell check disabled & not falling back on these typo-aliases, as shown by the author's other aliases. Especially their t-prefix aliases which imply zsh aliasing gi to git

I often type "git clone ", then switch to a browser to copy/paste the URL, which is usually fine, but there are still many times where I've happened to include "git clone" in the copied string. (So I end up with "git clone git clone $URL").

I do. And I also write "vim vim thefile.txt" and stuff like that. Finally I've written a small shell function that corrects "gi tpull" to "git pull", because that happens at least once a day.

I always typed rebnoot, so I patched Netbsd to allow rebnoot. Then I patched it still so it would say, "Rebnooting". Fun times.

Our org has a bunch of related miscellaneous projects called "pantry". Basically, if it doesn't fit standalone, you put it in the pantry. It works out better than you think, except when someone is doing a webex and misses an r.

Great for C programmers. Goes with:

  printf("Hello, world!\n");
  (printf)("Hello, world!\n");
  (*printf)("Hello, world!\n");
  (**printf)("Hello, world!\n");
  (***printf)("Hello, world!\n");

Can't tell if serious...

It’s probably just a shell script or an alias

An alias would work but it wouldn't say rebnooting. That was my initial fix. But I was learning things at the time and I learned how to recompile parts of the distribution. I also learned how programs in Unix could invoke different effects based on name. Coming from DOS, it was a real surprise that reboot was a link to shutdown.
