Stop piping grep to awk, just use nawk
Say I want to generate a list of modified files in my current git repo without all the extra gubbins that git outputs.
git status | grep 'modified'outputs:
# modified: Entity/Profile/Achievement.php
# modified: Entity/Profile/Activity.php
# modified: Entity/Profile/Category.phpor:
git status | grep 'modified' | awk '{ print 3ドル }'outputs:
Entity/Profile/Achievement.php
Entity/Profile/Activity.php
Entity/Profile/Category.phpThe above output is much nicer, but there's an even shorter way of achieving the same thing using nawk because this command can do the work of grep and awk in one go!
git status | nawk '/modified/ { print 3ドル }'outputs:
Entity/Profile/Achievement.php
Entity/Profile/Activity.php
Entity/Profile/Category.phpPretty basic example but now I have one less command to try and remember the syntax of :)

Do not use git status without --porcelain flag in your scripts. My version using "normal" AWK
git status --porcelain | awk '/^ M/ { print 2ドル }'
