Having used Zsh with Oh My Zsh for all my command line needs for some time I was delighted to discover Oh My Zsh’s zsh_stats
command which gives a nice summary of the top 20 most frequently used shell commands.
Here’s my top 20 – what’s yours? Or perhaps you have already stopped reading?

(g
is an alias for git
, l
is an alias for ls -al
and t
is an alias for todo.sh
)
Silly that cd
is number 4 when Oh My Zsh doesn’t even require it…
[UPDATE] cat
has recently overtaken t
. Stay tuned command stat fans!
