Terminal Wisdom : Shortcut of the day

I was reading a recent blog post about this cool git shortcut which shows you the recent working branches you have been working on.

automation git:(singla/add_missing_model) ✗ gitrecent 
38 minutes ago  singla/add_missing_model
25 hours ago    singla/bug_fixes_21st
25 hours ago    singla/track_order_revamp

While the shortcut is useful, I was afraid that I might just forget it so why not make a simple utility which prints a random shortcut whenever a terminal session starts.

The implementation is straightforward

Save your shortcuts in a file

Use git ac command to ammend and commit
Use git uc command to add and commit
Use git pullff command to pull without -no-ff
Use gitrecent command to show the recent working branch

Add code to your /.bashrc~ or ~/.zshrc to echo the tip

tip=$(shuf ~/tips | head -n 1)
echo "Tip of the session: $tip"

Maybe we can think different and add other reminders.

Use git ac command to ammend and commit
Use git uc command to add and commit
Use git pullff command to pull without -no-ff
Use gitrecent command to show the recent working branch

Hope this helps!
