Mac OS X Terminal Aliases & How-To

Collection of some of my fav terminal aliases that I use often & collected from the web. This file will be updated with more aliases as I find more. Feel free to comment and share your fav aliases you use :)

Follow these simple steps to add them to your shell env.

1. Within the Terminal, run: vim ~/.bash_profile
2. Type i and then paste the following at the top of the file:

-- Remove the history from 
rm -rf .git

-- recreate the repos from the current content only
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

-- push to the github remote repos ensuring you overwrite history
git remote add origin [email protected]:<YOUR ACCOUNT>/<YOUR REPOS>.git

Remove ._*- and .AppleDouble-files from folders.

Cred to hiber for suggesting adding -print0/-0 to solve whitespace issue.

See all ._*-files:
find . -name '._*' | more

Remove all ._*-files:
find . -name '._*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm
