Commands I Use

Unix commands I’ve used recently in order of descending frequency according to history and sort -n:

• git (but this is a cheat, since it’s really a family of commands)
• ls
• emacs (another cheat - I effectively run a lot of commands inside Emacs)
• cd
• make (all of my projects have Makefiles)
• fg (because I frequently background Emacs, run a command or two, and then foreground it)
• rm
• ta/tl/td (commands for my to-do list manager)
• jobs (see the note above about fg)
• fgrep
• open (to launch applications from the command line on Mac)
• bg (see the note above about fg)
• rmdir
• history
• date
• mv
• find
• clean (a script I wrote to delete junk files)
• cal
• which
• python (misleadingly low count: I run this from inside make or inside Emacs)
• mkdir
• less
• conda
• cat
