alias

I created a Git alias based off of the Git Immersion tutorial by EdgeCase that looks like this: hist = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]\" --graph --date=short But now it seems to be paging the results — Terminal shows (END) after the results are displayed, forcing me to hit Q to continue working. I read that by adding in the --no-pager tag, you can disable this feature; how do I incorporate it into the alias? I've tried it at the end, before the log , and right after, and none of them have worked. Git throws an error saying it is an unrecognized argument, or that it changes

I added an alias: $ alias anyalias="echo kallel" If I execute: $ anyalias kallel it executes the echo command without any problem. Now, if I define a variable in this way: $ var="anyalias" and then execute with this way: $ $var -ash: anyalias: not found Then I got a shell error. How I can make $var running the command defined in the anyalias alias? I m not looking to change the way of calling $var . But I m looking for a way of changing the definition of the alias or export it. Instead of alias consider using function: anyfunc() { echo "kallel"; } v=anyfunc $v kallel Safer is to store the call

I would like to change the target of an alias using python. do I have to download some external library to do this. I played around with aliases a bit and can't figure out any way to edit them without user input. I'm using mac, python 2.6 As far as I can tell it should be possible using PyObjC to get at the Mac's Foundation library. I think NSURLBookmarkResolutionWithoutUI is what you are looking for. PyObjC was a good suggestion. I couldn't find a solution anywhere, but after asking an equivalent question, finally managed to create one. See my answer to my own question: how to read, change,

I came across a weird behavior in the c-shell: when writing the following line, i get exactly the behavior I expect: ls -l | grep $USER | somescript `awk -F' ' '{print $1}'` meaning - it will search all items owned by me and activate 'somescript' with their first field as argument. however, when I try aliasing the same line, it jams my shell (or hands out error massages if i separate the braces from the apostrophe: alias doit 'ls -l | grep $USER | somescript `awk -F' ' '{print $1}'`' will result in either {: Command not found print: Command not found or simply not being able to start a new

I can't figure out why this simple alias isn't work. I've read online an example on creating it and don't know where I'm going wrong... I've added the following to my .profile file at the bottom: alias profile='sudo nano ~/.profile' When I type in 'profile' in the terminal it says command not found... I have a feeling this is a very very simple error I'm making. Thanks everyone! What happens if you log out and back in? Alternatively you could just type source .profile and that should activate your alias. Many people using bash set their aliases up in the .bashrc file. Arvind to add alias

I'm executing the following query but it is giving syntax error. Because the keyword key is registered in SQL SELECT `id` AS key, `country_name` AS value FROM countries I also tried using brackets like this but it's not working: SELECT `id` AS [key], `country_name` AS value FROM countries How to deal with it? Use backtick(`) or Single Quote(') to give alias name of column in MySQL. Try this: SELECT `id` AS 'key', `country_name` AS value FROM countries; OR SELECT `id` AS `key`, `country_name` AS value FROM countries; key is mysql keyword so compiler suppose as mysql keyword, you should warp by
