Tips & Tricks

Aliases to Add to Your Shell

# Add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

alias rg="repr generate --local"
alias rs="repr stories"
alias rc="repr commits"
alias rv="repr story view"
alias rr="repr review"
alias rsync="repr sync"

Combine with jq for Filtering

# Python stories only
repr stories --json | jq '.[] | select(.technologies | contains(["Python"]))'

# Featured stories only
repr stories --json | jq '[.[] | select(.is_featured == true)]'

# Stories from last month
repr stories --json | jq '[.[] | select(.created_at >= "2025-12-01")]'

Git Aliases for Sync

# Add to ~/.gitconfig
[alias]
    pp = !git pull && repr pull
    ps = !git push && repr push

Now git pp pulls both code and stories.
