Ask HN: Best things in your bash_profile/aliases?

  function path {
    if [[ -d "$1" ]] ; then
      if [[ -z "$PATH" ]] ; then
        export PATH=$1
      else
        export PATH=$PATH:$1
      fi
    fi
  }

  export PATH=''

  path ~/.homebrew/sbin
  path ~/.homebrew/bin
  path /usr/local/sbin
  path /usr/local/bin
  path /usr/sbin
  path /usr/bin
  path /sbin
  path /bin

I also like to keep vim swaps/backups/history in a centralized place (.vimrc):

  set directory=~/.vim/swaps      " centralized swaps
  set backupdir=~/.vim/backups    " centralized backups
  set undodir=~/.vim/undo         " centralized undo history

I also like to alias sl to ls :)

  alias sl='ls'

Anyways, the only options for tar that I commonly use are "c", "x", and "t"; I will use other programs for decompression, and for extracting into a directory, will use cd.

  ggs -> git status
  ggco -> git checkout
  ggd -> git diff
  ggap -> git add --patch

  $ loz QUERY

  $ lozinka

I suggest chattr +a ~/.passwords so that file cannot be deleted, only appended.

  function loz () {
            PASSWORDS=~/.passwords;
            if [[ "$1" ]]; then
                /bin/grep -i --color=auto "$1" $PASSWORDS;
            else
                echo "No query given."
            fi
   }

  function lozinka () {
       passwords=~/.passwords
       echo -n "Hostname:"; read hostname;
       echo -n "Service:"; read service;
       echo -n "Username:"; read username;
     echo -n "Email:"; read email;
     password=$(pwgen -n -n -n -s 20 1)
     echo -n "Password (${password}):"; read password1;
     if [[ $password1 ]]; then
         password=$password1
     fi
     if [[ ( $username || $email ) && $password ]]; then
         line=$(join_by : $hostname $service $username $email $password);
         echo $line >> $passwords;
         tail -n1 $passwords;
     else
         echo "Nothing recorded as there is no username or email";
     fi
   }
