nice ones! couple from my bash_alias

    alias ..="cd .."
    alias ..2="cd ../.."
    # ... you get the idea, mine goes up to 5
    function mkcd () { mkdir -p "$@" && eval cd "\"\$$#\""; }
    alias h="history|grep"

Instead of your `..` aliases, I have this, which saves some copy-pasting.

    function up() { cd "$(printf '../'%.0s $(seq 1 "${1:-1}"))" && pwd; } #up 4 goes up 4 directories
