How to add aliases

This script will pre-pend a block of code to your existing ~/.bash_aliases file to define new aliases without overwriting existing ones. It will create this file if it doesn't exist, and for macOS, will make ~/.bash_profile source it if it doesn't already do so.

python aliases/add_aliases.py

Useful scripts

Use the -h flag to learn about what args each script needs.

• replace_all_in_file.py - can be called using repall alias added by this repo. Given a file, replaces all occurrences of str1 with str2.
• default_scp.py - can be called using dscp alias added by this repo. Executes scp command on using your favorite remote host so you don't have to keep writing it out (must export $DEFAULT_REMOTE_HOST).
• video2gif.py - converts video to gif (useful for Google Slides)
• speedup_video.py - creates faster copy of video (removes sound)
• count.py - just prints out numbers from int1 to int2 each on a new line (OK not too useful, but sometimes useful when composing repetitive commands in a text editor)
