Setup

Linux

WARNING: This will overwrite your current ~/.bash_aliases file (if it exists). To see if it exists run cat ~/.bash_aliases

wget -O ~/.bash_aliases https://gist.githubusercontent.com/xy2z/0dad738b1519aed3f67613a6e9e2917a/raw && source ~/.bash_aliases

Windows (Cmder)

This will NOT overwrite your current aliases, cmder will overwrite the existing and add the new, and not delete your own aliases.

Requirements: PHP

php -r "echo str_replace(['alias ', '\''], '', file_get_contents('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/xy2z/0dad738b1519aed3f67613a6e9e2917a/raw'));" >> %CMDER_ROOT%\config\user_aliases.cmd

Restart cmder.exe.

Why?

Having multiple devices (home pc, home laptop, work pc, etc.) and servers it can be a difficult job to set all your own aliases, this is a way to fix that with one command that should be run on every device.

Help

  • To see a list of all aliases run alias
  • To see the current version, run xy_alias_version
  • To update just run the command again

Problems

Sometimes when running the install/update command, it will return a cached version if it's run multiple times. Wait ~5 minutes and try again. I've tried with wget --no-cache but it didnt help, however it did work after a couple minutes.

Todo

  • Is it possible to make a xy_alias_update alias that will run the script again? That will need some logic to know if the OS is linux or windows, so probably not since that would be a "function", and not sure that works in windows. So maybe a xy_alias_update_linux and xy_alias_update_windows command.
  • Remove 'sudo' from windows?

Tips

  • To automatically update aliases on every ssh login, add xy_alias_update_linux to the end of your ~/.bashrc file. This will slow your login down a tiny bit, but then it will always be up to date.
