In the ".bashrc" file, you can add...


To add the time/date in the history:
HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "

Shortcut for "ls -l":
alias ll="ls -l"

Shortcut for a fast maven clean build:
alias mvnci="mvn clean install -DskipTests -Dcheckstyle.skip=true"

Modify the prompt:
export PS1="\n\u@\h \w\n$ "

Always activate the color in grep:
export GREP_OPTIONS="--color"

Add magic to the space !cmd ...
bind Space:magic-space

Result:
