For your consideration, updog
For your consideration, updog
Installing is easy just add:
alias updog="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y"
to your .bashrc or .zshrc

This would go perfectly with the alias I did because I kept forgetting the original command:
undefined
$ alias whats=type $ whats updog updog is aliased to 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y'
-
It's all coming together now!

Is this a meme I'm too crontab to understand?
-
So you mean "what's updog" hahhahahha
-
Don't be such a chrony. I'm sure you'll be in symc sooner or later.

Someone wrote about there being a cat and a bat command in linux (plus another animal name I forgot), but no dog command. Someone commented that there's updog.

TIL about aliases in GNU/Linux
-
Alias Linux=GNU/Linux

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

alias yay="sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y"

These are my aliases:
undefined
alias dog=cat
And this one really improves my performance:
undefined
alias got=git
-
Not much, what's up with you?
-
what's updog?
-
Not much, hbu?

Wait until you see the one I showed off the other day:
alias gl='git log --graph --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --date=format:'\''%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'\'' --format=format:'\''%C(8)%>|(16)%h %C(7)%ad %C(8)%<(16,trunc)%an %C(auto)%d %>|(1)%s'\'' --all'-
I present my
ll:exa --all --long --header --group --time-style=long-iso --group-directories-first --git.

Isn’t “dist-upgrade” a better practice, particularly when using the “-y” argument?
-
What does -y do in apt?
-
Forces "yes" so you don't get the "continue?" prompt after hitting enter
-
I see. For some reason my apt manpage don't list it, but my apt-get manpage does.

Wait.. what? I didn't even consider this could be an option. Is anyone willing to point me at some accurate information about how to get started? Like.. where do I put a bash file, and how is it structured? How can I automate it? So many questions. I'm only sort of familiar with bash, as in I've seen the term and watched my coworker do some wizardry once.

I think this is an easier way to do it:
add this to a file called .bash_aliases instead (it should be a file right next to .bashrc, if not just create it)
You can add aliases to .bashrc with this, but I personally perfer to have aliases in their own file
Another thing, if you have a console window open while adding it, restart it so that the console is aware of the aliases. Alternatively, google something like "sourcing bashrc" or "sourcing aliases" and apply the commands you find
If you wish to add aliases to a bash script (for later automation), you add these two lines
shopt -s expand_aliases
source ~/.bash_aliases
but of course add this to the top of your bash scripts, so that your script knows to use the bash shell:
#!/bin/bash

This is so great. Thank you.
