Dotfiles & Shortcuts
March 8, 2021
I am pretty obsessed with optimizing my workflows. Here are a collection of aliases & functions which help to work fast and type less.
Scripts in package.json
Type scripts to see all the scripts in your package.json, helpful when jumping between projects.
function scripts() {
jq '.scripts' package.json
}Instant Shortcuts
Custom function I wrote to create a shortcut to a directory on the fly.
function createShortcut() {
DIR=$(pwd)
CMD=$1 # grab the current directory
NEW_SHORTCUT="alias ${CMD}='cd ${DIR}'" #create alias string
FILE=~/.profile
if grep -q "$NEW_SHORTCUT" "$FILE" ; then
echo "> alias '${NEW_SHORTCUT}' already exists"
else
echo $NEW_SHORTCUT >> $FILE #add if it dosen't already exist!
echo "> alias created: '${NEW_SHORTCUT}"
source $FILE
fi
}
