Unix tip: you know all those million options for every command? Yeah, don’t bother remembering them. The way you’re supposed to use them is to build little scripts around them, to get a specific problem solved so you don’t have to think about it anymore. For especially small tasks, ones that use one command but in a way that requires several options, you make an alias, essentially a one line script that your shell stores and treats like a command.
