basic actions

• list the variables you have saved

    $ amp

• expand the variables you have saved

    $ amp vim 1 2 3-5

• run a command (step 1: expand variables, step 2: run command, step 3: each line that matches the -p regex will be saved to a variable)

    $ amp -p "(.*)" ls -1
    1 amp
    2 node_modules
    3 package.json
    4 readme.md
    5 screenshots

    # let's view what the current variables are set to
    $ amp
    1 = amp
    2 = node_modules
    3 = package.json
    4 = readme.md
    5 = screenshots

suggested aliases

Because you don't want to type amp all over the place.

These are the aliases I use. Since I only just wrote this, there aren't that many. Based on these it shouldn't be too hard write/customize your own set of aliases.

    # give me variable expansion!
    alias subl='amp subl'
    alias ga='amp git add'
    alias gco='amp git checkout'
    alias gd='amp git diff'
    alias cat='amp cat'
    alias less='amp less'

    # give me variable saving!
    alias gs='amp -p "...(.*)$" git status -s'
    alias gbr='amp -p " ? (.*)$" git branch' # haha wow thats funny regex
    alias l='CLICOLOR_FORCE=1 amp -p "(.*)" ls -1'
