true && echo success
false || echo failed
```

###### Pipe stdout and stderr to separate commands

```bash
some_command > >(/bin/cmd_for_stdout) 2> >(/bin/cmd_for_stderr)
```

###### Redirect stdout and stderr each to separate files and print both to the screen

```bash
(some_command 2>&1 1>&3 | tee errorlog ) 3>&1 1>&2 | tee stdoutlog
```

###### List of commands you use most often

```bash
history | \
awk '{CMD[$2]++;count++;}END { for (a in CMD)print CMD[a] " " CMD[a]/count*100 "% " a;}' | \
grep -v "./" | \
column -c3 -s " " -t | \
sort -nr | nl |  head -n 20
```

###### Quickly backup a file

cp filename{,.orig}
```

###### Empty a file (truncate to 0 size)

```bash
>filename
```

###### Delete all files in a folder that don't match a certain file extension

```bash
rm !(*.foo|*.bar|*.baz)
