Nice!

I do have a suggestion, however. Wouldn't locomotor be a better alias for mv than wingardiumLeviosa?

diffindo for renaming, cutting, moving
evanesco is somewhat more accurate than avada kedavra
avadaKedavra - pkill maybe too long?
relashio - unlink
pack - zip
reducio - unzip
nox - shutdown
aparecium - ls -a
crucio - git rebase
mosmordre - vim/emacs

I'd like to report an issue, as avadaKedavra is to feeble. This should be alias avadaKedavra='rm --no-preserve-root -rf'.

sectumsempra - cut

mischiefManaged - sudo pkill loginwindow

brilliant !!

I would replace avadaKedavra with avada.

For macOS users:
