The bash history meme

Published April 16, 2008

Wherein I attempt to get what little readership I have to fall into a deep sleep.

Nicks-iMac:~ nick$ history 1000 | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
112 cd
53 svn
50 mate
40 sudo
35 ls
25 pwd
22 ./mysqladmin
17 port
14 ./mysql
13 curlĀ 

Ah, now isn’t that better? Sleeeep. Sleeeeeeeep. I’m sure there’s at least one hard core Unix person out there saying “what the fuck does ‘mate’ do, and where’s all the entries for ‘vi’?” I will further separate the sleepy from the hardcore by announcing this is a Mac.

I change directories a lot, huh?

    I hadn’t seen this before. It’s a pretty interesting look at what you do on the computer. I almost never close anything so single use commands like ’svn ci’ tend to rule the day. Let the meme continue:

    history 1000 | awk ‘{a[$9]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’ | sort -rn | head
    492 svn
    147 cap
    48 ll
    46 tail
    33 rm
    31 less
    28 cd
    25 rake
    25 cp
    12 script/generate
