Command Line History Meme

I’ve fallen victim to the command line history meme… I’m not sure this is a good representation of a normal day, I’ll have to compare it against Monday to see how it compares.

wesmaldonado:~/workspace/foo wesmaldonado$ history|awk ‘{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf “%5d\t%s\n”,a[i],i}}’|sort -rn|head

73 rake

68 cd

57 sudo

39 svn

35 ls

24 mate

22 clear

19 mysqladmin

18 script/server

11 exit

  1. Instead of typing exit, hit ctrl-d.

  2. I’ll work on using CTRL-D, I end up closing too many tabs on accident with it though. And to clear I use CTRL-K but still sometimes type clear I guess it just takes practice and forcing myself to do it. Perhaps I need to alias it and have it print out the control sequence?
