Writing Complicated Shell Commands
Helloworld! :)
Just wanted to post a tip that I’ve found very useful!
Prerequisite
You must have $EDITOR enviroment variable set in your bashrc/zsh
You can do so by adding the following line in your .bashrc
export EDITOR=editor
So for me, I would like to use vim as my editor, I would do
export EDITOR=vim
While editing some frigging long bash command
You just hit CTRL-x-e.
It’ll open your set $EDITOR for you and you just edit the command inside it.
After which you just save and esc.
It’ll automatically add the command to your terminal.
Hope you guys found something helpful here. :)
