I may add new things in the future, as they come for me, if I find new

features useful.

How to repeat a command n time

repeat 5 curl http://localhost/counter_add.php

How to expand recursively

If you want to find every file ending by .lisp in the folder and

subfolder you can use the following syntax. Using ****** inside a

pattern while do a recursive globbing.

ls **/*.lisp

Work with temp files

If you want to work on some command outputs without having to manage

temporary files, zsh can do it for you with the following syntax:

*=(command that produces stdout)**.

In the example we will use emacs to open the list of the files in our

personal folder.

emacs =(find ~ -type f)

This syntax will produce a temp file that will be removed when emacs

exits.

My ~/.zshrc

here is my ~/.zshrc, very simple (I didn't pasted the aliases I have),

I have a 1000 lines history that skips duplicates.

HISTFILE=~/.histfile

HISTSIZE=1000

SAVEHIST=1000

setopt hist_ignore_all_dups

setopt appendhistory

bindkey -e

zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/solene/.zshrc'

autoload -Uz compinit

compinit
