$ cat filesToBeDeleted.txt | xargs rm -rfImagine you're working with Docker and while printing all the containers, your output screen is only as clear as my future; hardly understandable lol.
$ docker ps -a --format="ID\t{{.ID}}\nNAME\t{{.Names}}\nImage\t{{.Image}}\nPORTS\t{{.Ports}}\nCOMMAND\t{{.Command}}\nCREATED\t{{.CreatedAt}}\nSTATUS\t{{.Status}}\n" After a few days, you begin working on some other docker project and find yourself in need of the custom formatting command again, which results in the distraction of repeatedly Google everything for the same command every now and again, and this is when Linuxcomes in handy! Alias allows you to build a shortcut for such daunting long commands so that you don't have to Google them all the time..
