A bunch of bash functions and aliases for Harry Potter fans...

.bash_aliases.hogwarts

# Harry Potter comes to your bash
# All ye muggles, make life a little magical

accio() {
  # Bring files here (to $CWD)
  mv $@ .;
};

stupefy() {
  # Temporarily stop processes
  kill -STOP $@;
};

enervate() {
  # Continue processes
  kill -CONT $@;
};

geminio() {
  # Make a copy
  cp $1 $2;
};

# Thou shalt do my bidding
alias imperio='sudo'

locomotor() {
  # Move things about
  mv $1 $2;
}

# Who else is around?
alias homenum-revelio='who'

# BEWARE!!! DRAGONS AHEAD
# Do not ever use this alias without proper backups or understanding what it does
#
# alias avada-kedavra='rm -rf --no-preserve-root /'
#
# This variant is much less malicious, and should probably be useable outside of a lab
# alias avada-kedavra='pkill'
#
# This has been commented out so that you do not damage any system by mistake


# Other candidates
# alias lumos='ls'
# alias apparate='ssh'
# alias legilimens='top'
# Any more suggestions? Feel free to fork this gist!
