Less is more, here are some very simple functions that I always source in to my .bashrc

Code:
# prints newest file in dir

function lat() { ls -t | head -1 ;}

# example:

$ cd Downloads/EducationalVideos

$ mpv `lat`

Code:
# adds an alias and re-sources .bashrc

# not perfect improvements are very welcome

adda(){

  al=$1

  shift 1

  echo "alias $al='${@}'" >> $HOME/.bash/alias

  . $HOME/.bashrc

}

# example:

$ adda lolello echo hello | toilet | lolcat

# adds: alias lolello='echo hello | toilet | lolcat' - to ~/.bash/alias

I also use some of the nuggets from this thread on another forum:
