<p>Instead of typing out long commands you can alias them, and type a shorthand version.I've written an <ahref="#">article about aliases</a> that explains setting up, and aliases I use. Below are some essentials for those that don't want to jump to another article.</p>
<pre><code>alias ll="ls -lhtr"
alias df="df -h"
alias lsm="ls -t -1"
alias count="find . -type f | wc -l"</code></pre>
alias ta="tmux attach || tmux new"
alias ipe="curl ifconfig.co"</code></pre>
<h3>Ctrl-L clear-screen</h3>
<p>Sometimes a new system doesn't have this by default, and it's probably the thing I use most after ls.</p>
