A while ago I made a tiny function in my ~/.zshrc to download a video from the link in my clipboard. I use this nearly every day to share videos with people without forcing them to watch it on whatever site I found it. What's a script/alias that you use a lot?
# Download clipboard to tmp with yt-dlp
tmpv() {
  cd /tmp/ && yt-dlp "$(wl-paste)"
}

mkcd

mkdir and cd into it.

I have a similar one, mkmv, it makes a directory and then moves files into it

Dir name first and then files?

Yep! It just uses the first argument for mkdir, then all of the following args get put into mv with the first argument again, or something like that, it’s been a few months since I made it
