My New Productivity Hacks

Muscle Memory Makeover

Docker just streamlined Docker Compose by integrating it as a plugin. Great news, but it means us old hats need to retrain our fingers. Here's a quick fix for your .bashrc to keep things smooth:

alias docker-compose='docker compose'

MySQL in a Flash

As a programmer and Linux admin, I juggle multiple MySQL servers with different group suffixes. Typing --defaults-group-suffix every time was a drag. This handy bash function saves the day:

m() {
  mysql --defaults-group-suffix=$1
}

Now, connecting to a database is as easy as:

m specific-suffix

This keeps your workflow concise and saves you precious keystrokes. Put them into you .bashrc or .zshrc now and let our life easier!
