[AskSN] What are your favorite little shell commands?

I stumbled on ncdu today. It's a text-based disk-usage analyzer. I have folders containing millions of files, and this has been a godsend to find where the biggest files are located and quickly delete them with a simple keystroke. Needed about 15 minutes to index everything, but after that, it's super fast.
Any other little tools you can't live without?

alias beep='aplay ~/Documents/sfx/beep2.wav' # happy successful sound

Wow didn't know about those. I could have used it several times today instead of scp-ing a remote file before copying it locally into my clipboard. Will test it tomorrow.
