Terminal commands

A list of customized terminal commands I used the most to boost my productivity.

I will be expanding this list from time to time as I discover / create more commands that help me on my day to day as an iOS Engineer.

If using ZSH make sure to create the file ~/.zshrc and add all these commands below inside this file.

ZSHRC || BASH_PROFILE

PS1="%F{033}Tally@Jorge%f %~ -> ";

export PS1;

alias c='clear'

alias ss='magick montage *.png -geometry 512x800+4+4 mr_screenshot.jpg'
