[Server-devel] aliases for hacking on our XSCE school server

2013-10-27 Thread George Hunt
I recently pushed an xs profile to github that will start fine tuning the working environment on the XSCE Now I'm thinking that I should add and collect some functions and aliases which make working with ansible playbooks and github, easier, and require fewer keystrokes. So far I've thought of:

I know that XSCE currently does some customizations, but personally I would prefer to see the normal installation process not modify shell aliases or prompts unless explicitly told to. These are more of a user preference than anything necessary for XSCE to function. XSCE eventually should not act
