File Extension Change Shortcut
Changing the extension of a file seems like something you would do often enough to know how to do it from command line. One annoying part of moving a file is repeating the file name a second time when all I want to do is change the extension. A minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless.
I recently found that you can quickly change a file's extension with this handy shortcut:
# mv filename.{old,new}
mv code.{txt,js}
The braced syntax provides a way to quickly swap out the file extension without needing to repeat the file name. Sweet!

This does not only work for file extensions. You can generally use the curly braces syntax to “generate” multiple words/arguments for a bash command: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Brace-Expansion
