SUDO

Order bash to do things by shouting.

How-to

Typing sudo chmod +x foo.sh is so boring, isn't it? You really want to chmod that file, so let bash know about it. Be assertive:

CHMOD +x foo.sh

That way, bash knows you mean business. Plus, you save yourself three keypresses if you use caps lock, or four(!) if you use shift.

Other features

You can ~yell~ type SUDO to get bash to run the last command you wrote with sudo prefixed. After all, forgetting sudo can be very frustrating; you need to let your anger out somehow. A typical usage looks like this:

$ mkdir /bar
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/bar’: Permission denied
$ SUDO
[sudo] password for user: 
$ /bar
bash: /bar: Is a directory
$ :)

Installation

Run install.py, follow instructions (requires Python 3). Running this script will also allow you to update to new versions.

Note: this will append to your ~/.bashrc. A backup of your ~/.bashrc is kept at ~/.bashrc.old if anything goes catastrophically wrong.

Warning: never run scripts without checking them and being certain that they are not malicious.

Acknowledgements

Thanks to @rpprroger for the idea. I just implemented the idea, badly.
