Got a real finger killer of a shell command you find yourself running a lot when developing or fixing something? Seems pretty obvious in retrospect but it took me a while to remember - use the alias command. Alias run = “docker build -t container name . && docker run —rm -it -p 8080:8080 container name”. Then just typing run executes those. #ShellTips #SoIRememberNextTime

Here's a little something I do when rebooting a server, because I'm impatient. To reboot it, first I ssh in with:

ssh example.com

Then, after I've run `reboot` on the server and I've been kicked off, I run:

while ! !!; do sleep 3; done

The shell (bash/zsh probably others) will expand the `!!` to the last command I typed, and it will keep retrying it with a 3 second gap between attempts, until it succeeds or I hit Ctrl-C. After it logs in fine and I check everything's OK I log out as normal, which causes `ssh` to exit 0 which stops the loop.
