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)"
}

A few days ago I posted a one-liner to do the same thing too. It will resolve aliases from your history and expand program paths to its fullpath. I thought you might be interested: https://beehaw.org/post/20584479

type -P $(awk '{print $1}' ~/.bash_history | sort -u) | sort
