Improve your Shell

You use Linux shell every day? You make some mistyping? You like colors? Or you're just lazy?

This trick will change your life!

You just have to type in a single command line in your shell. Then your shell will be "patched".

(no root required, just patch user's ".bashrc")

Commands

Install or update :

bash <(curl -Ls http://git.io/vT9wm)

Remove :

bash <(curl -Ls http://git.io/vTdtT)

Try just for current session : (No file will be installed on your computer)

source <(curl -Ls http://git.io/vT9MS)

• New prompt (see screenshots below)
• Auto cd (just type a dir name into bash)
• Spell check for directories
• Secure commands like rm/chmod to avoid some regrettable things
• Retrieves typos (like "sl" for "ls" or "gut" for "git")
• Many usefull alias
  • git : gs, ga, gc...
  • path : www, home, cd., cd.., cd..., cd-, ..
  • sysadmin : ports, fastping, psmem10, pscpu10, webshare
• Somes cool functions
  • gitAliasSetUp : to configure some shortcut in git (git st, git co, ...)
