My most used Terminal Commands

Wed, Feb 20, 2019

Inspired by this article, I set out to find which are my most used commands.

Feb 2019

→ history 0 $HISTSIZE | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head

1520 git
616 cd
611 yarn
604 sudo
601 curl
349 rm
264 docker
232 heroku
220 npm
176 cat

It’s a bit surprising the to see git at the top of the list given my heavy usage of magit. It would be nice to check what git subcommands I use the most. When I am working on any work related stuff. I tend to stick to magit. It’s a bit surprise to not find v (my alias for neovim) in here. I need to debug this a bit more. cat is another surprise. I don’t know when I used cat that much.

It would be nice to see how my terminal command usages changes with month and how many commands I perform in a day and month. Silly things but I feel quite excited to do some more analysis this and generate graphs.
