Algo: Bash Alias Manager

Algo allows you to configure multi-level bash aliases through yaml. It reads yaml in from stdin and writes bash source code to stdout.

Installation

go install github.com/ricky0123/algo@latest

Example usage

Create a file ~/.algo.aliases.yml with the following contents

# ~/.algo.aliases.yml

cm: chemzoi

g:
    $: git
    s: status
    q: commit -am "$(date)" && git push

Then add this line to your ~/.bashrc:

# ~/.bashrc

if [ -f ~/.algo.aliases.yml ] && command -v algo &>/dev/null
then
    source <(cat ~/.algo.aliases.yml | algo) &> /dev/null
fi
