This is a little dumb alias process='ps -ax' :)

Re: Alias.sh: for finding, sharing and storing bash aliases
#22Command line fu ( http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/browse ) already contains a pretty big collection of useful shell snippets, I'm not sure that making another website will help. [edit] However, I have to admit that I prefer your design. :)
One thing that isn't really highlighted as much as it should be is that you can directly grab or source your opted-in aliases, eg. wget -q -O - "$@" https://alias.sh/user/[userid]/alias >> ~/.bash_aliases or, if you like to live dangerously: source
for me the wget thing doesn't work. i get some aliases, but not those i have been adding to my list.

#23I don't know if it is my browser, but to me I get the feeling the site is disabled, with the very darkend colors. It's almost as if a modal is showing, and the rest of the page is faded out - but I can't see no modal. Just my first impressions. But other than that: Really cool - going straight to the bookmarks!
Had the exact same reaction when I first opened the site, thought my eyes had gone funny.
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I did the design for the site.
Tonight I'm planning on bumping up the contrast and it seems calibrating my monitor also ;)

fschwehn, can you try again. We picked the bug up you were describing.
Also aliases are meant to be public. We may have private aliases in the future.
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

#25Heart almost skipped a beat when first glanced at the welcome email, last two lines:
username: thomseddon password: Your password
With the actual text "Your password", Phew!! Not quite sure it's necessary to include this line, for the sake of your users cardiovascular health you may wish to consider removing it!
(Oh, do really like this site, started using it already as you can see!)
Re: Alias.sh: for finding, sharing and storing bash aliases
#26A search function would be great, showing just the popular tags makes it hard to find new tricks.
I agree; that and being able to tag and comment on aliases. Some way of posting alternatives for the same task would be great too.

#27Gray text on a gray background. No thanks.
A very easy to read grey on a very nice grey background.
Yes please.

thanks, now works like a charm!
Re: Alias.sh: for finding, sharing and storing bash aliases
#29This website is quite fun, except it has (for me) one fatal flaw - if I use the automated stuff I am stuck with whatever name someone else decided to give the alias.
For example, http://alias.sh/open-any-file-default-command-file I find so useful I shorted the alias to 'o'. Now, I could make another alias with a different name, but that seems like a bad idea..
Re: Alias.sh: for finding, sharing and storing bash aliases
#30This looks great! The 'freq' alias is new to me -- very cool. I would find this more useful were I not to have to create an account before uploading my aliases.
Yeah, sorting your bash history helps highlight what you spend most of your time doing and if that can be cut down at all.
