Run Dollar Command
A trick to run shell commands copied with `$` prefix.
A productivity hack for you!
Do you see a lot of shell commands in READMEs on GitHub like this?
$ echo helloHow annoying is that leading dollar sign?! 😡
When copy/pasting, I often accidentally grab the extraneous $, especially using the trick of triple-clicking to select the whole line.
What if your terminal could just ignore the $ and let you paste the whole $ echo hello command?
Well, good news! Define this function in your shell config:
function $ { $@ }It will just run anything after the $! ✨
Voila! 🎉
