I feel almost embarassed for sharing some of these, but I either remember things the first time I'm exposed to them or am forever doomed to have to look them up.
ln -s /the/target the_link (can never remember order)
for f in *.mp4; do mv "$f" "$(echo "$f" | sed s/S1E/S01E/)"; done
tar -theuniverse (insert xkcd here)
grep -E 'foo|bar' file (can never remember the flag for regex)
I started remembering the order for ln when I think of it as a copy which just happens to be special. cp SRC DEST is intuitive to me so I just hang ln off that.
I did that as well, also running cp with the -s argument will create a symlink
25 years into this and i still have to look up the ln order. I know for more complex things, but this damn order won't stick in my mind.
