pro tip

side note: My all-time favorite linux utility is "fuck". When you make a mistake and get a command line error, you type the word fuck and it looks at what you previously typed and the error message, and tries to figure out your mistake and what you should have typed instead. Then it types that in for you. If it's correct all you have to do is hit Enter. Or you can edit first, but it's usually right. Amazing tool, and doesn't even use AI, just a list of common errors. It's been around for years and years. Its mere existence really captures the whole culture of linux IMO.

alias alias='alias'

alias go-go-gadget=sudo

$ go-go-gadget apt update

please remove the French language pack

        please rm -fr /*
  

please killall

I see...

I aint typing out 'please', I will compromise on alias plz='sudo'

Or do the opposite for..relief

Fucking mv doc doc1

Fucking shutdown

I might actually do this, it seems nice.

I prefer to use kudasai ... but as some may already know, it should be at the end of the sentence command 😅, so I added a custom hook to my ZSH config to make it run commands as pacman -Syu kudasai.

Essentially you can add any type of string matching in the function. Add this to the end of your .zshrc file:

 zsh

    
function kudasai_preexec() {
    # Check if the last word is ' kudasai'
    if [[ $1 == *" kudasai" ]]; then
        # Remove ' kudasai' and prepend 'sudo'
        cmd=${1%" kudasai"}
        eval "sudo $cmd"
        # Prevent the original command from running
        return 1
    fi
}

# Register the preexec hook
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
add-zsh-hook preexec kudasai_preexec

  

Edit: as downside you always get 1 exit code with this implementation _{(little_annoying)} .

alias fuck=sudo !!

This from the OS that made me have to do a search for "how to kill children".

Nah, uh, uh. You didn’t say the magic word!

also set up insults in sudoers for a unique experience

please !!

I don't ask my machine to do something. It doesn't have feelings. I keep civilités for humans.

Plz for faster typing

please shtudown
fuck

  

wouldyoukindly kill -9 1

Bitch would be better

The sudo who do what-you-don't-have-permissions-to-do people.

It’s a longer command. I wanna get shit done. I’m aliasing commands to make them shorter, not longer. But it does seem like it’d be a little friendlier.

sudo make me a sandwich

more typing. if i set up an alias for it, i'd rather set up su
