Install slmenu then put this function in your startup: ssm() { ssh $(awk ‘/Host / && !/*/ { print $2 }’ ~/.ssh/config | slmenu) }
Are you an emacs user? Are you a GNU screen user? If the answer to both of these questions is yes then install elscreen for buffer navigation in emacs.
So here’s a quick function to drop in your ~/.emacs (taken from here): (defun git-push-remote-origin () “run `git push'” (interactive) (when buffer-file-name (shell-command “git push”) (message “DONE! git push at %s” default-directory) ))
