Yeah, well, I’ve seen all the UNIX wannabes out there do this, so I thought I’d take a stab at it too:
stealthbook:~ user$ history | awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head 131 hg 92 cd 87 mate 33 ls 24 duplicity 15 mv 13 ssh 13 open 13 mkdir 10 convert
Notes for the unititiated:
- I manage a lot of stuff with Mercurial – documents, source code, this site’s content, etc.
- TextMate is, of course, my preferred text editor on the Mac.
- duplicity is now available in MacPorts, and since I only have my laptop with me these days I’ve been using it to keep encrypted off-site backups of some of my stuff.
- I use
open
a lot in Mac OS X. Few people know that you can doopen -n
to run a new instance of an application, or dols | open -f
to get a file listing (or any CLI output) in your editor (oddly enough,pbcopy
didn’t make it to the listing above – I use that a lot, too). - ImageMagick is still one of the command-line tools I use the most, all things considered. Nothing beats it for quick image resizing and conversion – not even Pixelmator.
