Is there a way to record the Linux commands I use and reuse them on another machine or in case I want to reinstall the machine?
In example record how I set up NginX, PHP and permissions in my lab environment and then repeat the exact commands on my deploy machine?
As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:
du -hs * | sort -h
If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:
brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h
From sort manual:
-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)

Seems to me like you want script(1).
It allows you to record and replay terminal sessions.
On the other hand, if you are trying to automate setups, consider configuration management, like puppet.
