A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What's a script/alias that you use a lot?

# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

alias gl='git log'
alias server-name-here='ssh server-name-here'

I have a bunch of the server aliases. I use those and gl the most.

    I do have the servers in ~/.ssh/config. I just got tired of typing ssh server and wanted the be able to just type server to ssh in.

    We almost have the same setup then, I use

    ssh_hostnames=$(grep "^Host " ~/.ssh/config | awk '!/*/ {print $2}')
for host in $ssh_hostnames
do
 alias $host="ssh $host"
done

    in my .bash_aliases to parse the ~/.ssh/config file and cut off the 'ssh ' part automatically for every Host I have in there.
