My ten most-frequently-used shell commands

Here they are:

$ history|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head
80 cd
59 svn
49 bzr
40 sudo
35 vi
32 nosetests
26 l
15 rfcomm
14 screen
14 c

l is an alias for ls and c is an alias for clear. rfcomm is how I connect to my mobile phone over a virtual serial port via bluetooth.

I’m happy that vi and nosetests are right next to each other. It looks like I’m pretty good about rerunning my test cases after editing.

I got the idea for this post from this guy.
