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)"
}

Not an alias, but expanding -h to --help has been very useful in cases where the program just prints "see --help for options" when you just use -h

I use glola from oh-my-zsh every day to see an overview of my projects

Ans ns/nss is very convenient to run one-off commands with software I don't already have installed!

Oh and cdt = cd $(mktemp -d) is nice to have when you just need a temporary clean directory to do something quick
