Command Shrink

many times we have to use large commands.

This is ok, but when this usage is often, it could be anoying.

To solve this problem i'm writing this cli.

How it works

basically you can create a "shrink command" to any command that you have on linux

how can i create a new shrink?

shrink -a <shrink_name> <command>

this is the basic syntax.

for example, if you want to make the command all to list all files in current directory instead of ls -la, you could:

shrink -a all "ls -la"

and done.

when you execute all in your terminal, the command ls -la will be executed.

Benefits

All right. you could be thinking: "Just use the bash alias".

But, is not that simple.

if you are working on a project and needs to execute a large command to up a docker container for example.

how anoying is to open the bash, create an alias manually, go back to the terminal, source the current session. if the command is wrong? do it again! want to remove? do it again! want to update? do it again!

with the cli you will be able to do this operations by a single command.
