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)"
}

    Execute the previous command as root

    Fun fact if you are using bash, !! will evaluate to the previous command, so if you miss sudo on some long command, you can also just do sudo !!.

      With the added benefit of it looking like you’re yelling at your prompt in order to get it to use sudo.
