# TIL: Getting Your Most Commonly Used Terminal Commands

Today I learned that my favorite terminal [zsh](https://www.zsh.org/) combined with [oh-my-zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/) includes an inbuilt command that I can use to check my most used terminal commands.

To access it you just need to run `zsh_stats` and it will produce a ranked list of the top 20 commands and how many times they have been run.

This is the output I get from my terminal

A lot of those are command aliases from oh-my-zsh plugins, most of them from the [git plugin](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/master/plugins/git/README.md). The top command there is a shortcut for `git commit -m` which is just a lot to type out every time I need to create a commit message.

This [cheatsheet](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Cheatsheet) contains some more convenient shortcuts and the inbuilt [oh-my-zsh plugins](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Plugins) contain even more awesomeness! I always discover something new there.

Just thought this is a really cool feature. oh-my-zsh is pretty amazing 🤩
