Alias Shell that updates Shell
As this week is mosly tweaks for Zsh history, I've titled this journal entry to be a play on words from the Shakesphere play 'Alls well that ends well'.
The fd built-in command for Zsh is a very effective way to keep the command history clean.
Zshλ︎
Every command typed at the prompt will be added to the Zsh history. This provides a very efficient way to repeat commands.
When an incorrect command is used the usefulness of the history can be deminished, as those incorrect commands are also part of the history.
Rather than navigating the history and changing the command, use the buildin fd command to edit the Zsh history.
The fd command is a simple tool to keep the Zsh history clean of incorrect commands. A specific command can be edited and changed by specifying its number in the history order. Or the whole history can be edited, especially useful if the command should be completely deleted.
Avoid editing history directly
Use fd command to edit the history to ensure the cache is up to date.
Editing $HISTFILE Zsh history file directly will not remove the command from the history cache and will show when navigating histor until logging out of the shell session.
Engineering Playbookλ︎
Added shell alias examples to Practicalli Engineering Playbook.
Rewrote the Deliberate Practiceoverview and reorganised Architecture and Code Kata pages as sub-sections.
Thank you.
