I would recommand to never copy paste but retype so you have the commands on your finger memory.

Also don’t be afraid to --help everything. It give more option for commands you know quicker than the man.

XR?

I’m with the others: fd default syntax is easier to remember.

And for the interactive search I’m using skim. With it I cd to the dir I want and Alt t to trigger fuzzy finding. There are also bindings to search for dir or in the history. The neat part is that results are inserted as is in the command line, no need to xargs or copy them. It also make the history look like I always know where the files I want are when in reality they are just fuzzy-found

I’m using helix with arrows. On a standard layout its not so great, but on my main keyboard I have a layer with arrow keys near hjkl. So I can use that on all software even on my BÉPO (DVORAC like) layout.

Why should I use a sudo alternative?

-g is not documented, what does it do?

Note: this made me discover topless (SFW) and its Caveat section.

From your example, I have a hard time inferring what is it doing.

--single-branch

Most of the time the fix is: put quotes around your strings (especially when they may contains globing patterns). Sometimes its using newer syntax available in bash but not on the snippet.

I only have to “quotes” strings that contains globs. The rest mostly work or use the newer/recommanded way to do things for posix shells.

But I must admit, I only use it interactively. For scripts I #!/bin/{,ba}sh. I will use something else once it won some/most the distro preinstalls (either nu, elvish, fish, but for now it’s sadly python).

I think some peoples developped an allergy to projects being (re-)written in rust. Not sure why.

I don’t know elvish, but I can’t get into nu. It is too different than what I learned (bash). I’m not sure I understand what they want to accomplish… Maybe I’m not the target, I use the shell to start commands as a dev, not as a devops or data guy…

I also had a hard time using fish the first time I tried it. But since the version on Debian 10 I re-tried and now the only thing to know is “put the arguments in quotes if you want the command to do globbing”. With that you can use 99% of the commands you find on internet as is.

I used Kresus some times ago on a server. It was nice, but my bank don’t play nice and it is not my thing to manage like that.

It should auto import and… I did not follow developments so don’t remember the functionalities.

I’m on Linux and a prebuit PC would be a nice change. But at the same price or lower than Windaube, since I don’t want a licence for them.

I will prefer to build myself rather than paying an extra k…

Apparently stow -t exist too.

1. You need a license
2. usage should just be help (avoid extra step)
3. connect does not exist (see add and cmd list)
4. You can git clone <REPO> <DEST FOLDER>, no need to cd
5. maybeCreateDir is not used each time, there are some mkdir
6. “changes” is not a helpfull commit message. Accept an optional argument string and {MESSAGE:=change}
7. Accept a different repo path
8. set -euxo pipefail at the start of the script if you want to exit at any error. Some sort of bash strict mode
9. shellcheck does not like iterating over ls’s output

I’m too lazy to open issues/PR for all that, and I still need to learn stow. Hopfully this might help me ? (I don’t really need help with git that this sçript look to abstract too much for me.)

Thanks. I think your message is not very clear at first (since I did not know about “nav mesh”). But reading Wikipedia is clear now. It also helped me find the official page (added the link in the post).

Yup, pull requests are an invention from git’s servers (I think github came up with that first). The built in way (famously used by the linux kernel) is git-send-email.

Oh, didn’t knew about Alt d. Thx

When I’m unsure, I ls <the-glob>, chek, then replace ls with rm.
