Share a script/alias you use a lot (lemmy.world)

A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What's a script/alias that you use a lot?
# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

This is dumb lol but

update = "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade"

Exchange apt for whatever package manager you use, optionally add "&& flatpak upgrade". If you really want to live on the edge throw a -y in there as well

Mine is a bit longer and includes automatically removing unused dependencies: alias update='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && flatpak update && sudo apt autoremove --purge && flatpak remove --unused --delete-data && notify-send '\''update done'\'''

I just end mine with "&& exit"

I have a similar one as well for debian-based operating systems...

dist-upgrade() {
    sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove
}

To get this to work without a password, i dropped a file in /etc/sudoers.d that allows anyone in the sudo group to sudo apt without a password.

root@tux:~# cat /etc/sudoers.d/apt

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias COMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt, /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg

# Use apt commands without a password
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: COMMANDS
