I use most of the oh-my-zsh builtins. The git ones save a ton of time and G='|grep' is brilliant.

    alias GD='git diff HEAD~1 HEAD'
    alias grv='git review'
    alias gunmod='git status | grep "modified" | awk "{print \$2}" | xargs -I{} git checkout -- {}'
    alias gv='gvim --remote-silent'
    alias json='| python -m json.tool'
    alias vg='vagrant'
    alias ans='ansible '
    alias ansp='ansible-playbook '
    alias vv='virtualenv venv'
    alias vvp='venv/bin/python'
    alias vvpi='venv/bin/python setup.py develop'
    alias yt='cd $HOME/downloads; youtube-dl --verbose'
    alias yt3='cd $HOME/downloads; youtube-dl --verbose --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 '

I keep all of my shell history, right now it think it goes back ~3 years, so every now and then I filter it by frequency and check if I am using a command often enough to justify an alias. Works quite well

  > alias json='| python -m json.tool'

Is the beginning pipe intended? If I just run 'python -m json.tool' then it starts reading from stdin by itself (and works as intended). And with the pipe, I can’t seem to make the alias work.

  $ echo  '{ "foo": 1234}' | json
  -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|'

  $ json
  -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `|'

yeah, thats my bad, A recent addition and I must have copied too much of the command line when adding it.
