Same here with ls and cd in front:
$ awk '{print $1}' ~/.bash_history | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
407 ls
283 cd
217 git
171 vi
114 make
53 dot
52 sudo
47 rm
44 erl
41 grep
The only reason why python is not up there is because I tend to do chmod +x
on my python scripts. I also had a dot and Erlang frenzy recently (not
together though).
What is also interesting is how it changes when you include the first
parameter. The positions of "git status" and simple "ls" showing that I
regularly need reminding what the hell I've just modified and what was in
there in the first place:
$ awk '{print $1 " " $2}' ~/.bash_history | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
242 ls
72 git status
53 make
53 dot -Tsvg
50 vi Makefile
43 git add
41 vi test.sh
41 bash test.sh
39 git commit
33 cd ..

Re: [ubuntu-uk] 1000 commands
The ranger CLI file manager is awesome too if your familiar with vi/vim. I use it a lot for getting to where I need to be. S is your friend (puts you in a shell in the directory you have selected in ranger).

Indeed, I type "ls" and "cd" way more than I should :)

There is no problem with keeping a lengthy history per se, just sometimes those commands are often variations on the same thing in which case you may be better off creating scripts and aliases to save yourself time and effort.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] 1000 commands
Shell scripts and aliases are the way to go for common commands. What on earth are you using more than a 1000 commands in your history for? I recommend making yourself aliases and scripts for your most used commands which you should be able to discern from your history file.

Interestingly it appears to have been 500 in Ubuntu in 2009 but I honestly can't remember. Would converting a few things into aliases or shell scripts reduce your reliance on history?

[ubuntu-uk] 1000 commands
I just discovered that, as a default, only the last 1000 commands are stored in the bash history file. Pretty horrified! A quick bit of googling gave me the fix to increase the limit etc. Not sure if this is just Ubuntu or linux in general. If you're into the command line 1000 commands don't cover a very long period. I had made a backup of my history file in google docs/drive so not all was lost. But it's something I've never seen reference too before. I was on Ubuntu 12.04 so maybe it's changed since then?
