I watched recently a "Play by Play" video featuring Ben Orenstein. He is using a ton of command line alias and presented his work flow: He is searching the command line history file of the most common used terms. After that create some nice alias to save you time.
I asked Ben for the snippet:
@wikimatze history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head

All you have to do is to call:
wm~ % history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head
4716 git
4526 vim
3567 ls
2140 cd
1269 bundle
877 sudo
755 tig
725 ..
723 clear
513 rm
Johannes Faigle pinged me on twitter a more sophisticated variant of the oh-my-zsh:
function zsh-stats() {
fc -l 1 | 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 -n25
}
Now calling zsh-stats gives you the following overview:
wm~ % zsh-stats
1 4716 18.8746% git
2 4526 18.1141% vim
3 3567 14.276% ls
4 2140 8.5648% cd
5 1269 5.07884% bundle
6 877 3.50997% sudo
7 755 3.02169% tig
8 725 2.90162% ..
9 723 2.89362% clear
10 513 2.05315% rm
11 406 1.62491% d

16 216 0.864484% cf
17 183 0.73241% bash
18 181 0.724406% tmuxifier
19 158 0.632354% gem
20 152 0.608341% ruby
21 146 0.584327% fg
22 145 0.580325% mv
23 141 0.564316% ~
24 121 0.484271% padrino
25 121 0.484271% ack-grep
Now go out and create your personal aliases!
