A fun shell script from #euruku

Maybe I should answer that:

I told people at eurucamp 2012 in Berlin to go ahead and type that command into their shell just to get some insight on what they are doing over and over again and what they might be able to automate. I decided to collect only two words of every typed command to be able to merge all git commit -m calls into one entry on the list. Of course it is arbitrary, but it worked very well for me. Feel free to play with it as much as you want. It's all about introspection and getting to know ones own habits and workflows.

For example, another fun thing might be to see which commands are executed the most in a row (just leave out the first sort):
history | awk {'print $2, $3, $4'} | uniq -c | sort -k1 -rn | head -n 30
