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)"
}

    git() {
  if [ "$1" = "cd" ]; then
    shift
    cd "./$(command git rev-parse --show-cdup)$*"
  else
    command git "$@"
  fi
}

    This lets you run git cd to go to the root of your repo, or git cd foo/bar to go to a path relative to that root. You can’t do it as an alias because it’s conditional, and you can’t do it as a git-cd command because that wouldn’t affect the current shell.
