Alias Alchemy

The best way to download alias for fast setup.

Usage

Step 1: Using any of the following tools, send a GET request to alias alchemy domain with/without q (default all) and sys (default: linux) query parameters to download the composite alias file.

  • Linux Path: ~/.alias.sh
  • Windows Path: %USERPROFILE%\\.alias.cmd
    Using cURL
    curl -L "alias-alchemy.ra101.dev?q=py,dj,docker&sys=linux" > ~/.alias.sh
    Using Wget
    wget "alias-alchemy.ra101.dev?q=py,dj,docker&sys=win" -O %USERPROFILE%\.alias.cmd
    Other supported tools
    HTTPie http -d [url] > [filepath]
    Invoke-WebRequest Invoke-WebRequest [url] -O [filepath]
    aria2 aria2c -c [url] > [filepath]
    Postman GET [url] | Save to File
    Any Tool [tool] [header: {'User-Agent': 'alal'}] [url] > [filepath]

Step 2: Configure our system to auto-run the alias file whenever a terminal is launched. (This is just a first-time setup)

    Linux Setup

    Assuming we saved the file at ~/.alias.sh, run the following command

    # Append `Executing Command (source)` in the shell's configuration profile.
    ## Bash 
    grep -qxF 'source ~/.alias.sh' ~/.bashrc || echo 'source ~/.alias.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
    
    ## ZSH 
    grep -qxF 'source ~/.alias.sh' ~/.zshrc || echo 'source ~/.alias.sh' >> ~/.zshrc
    Windows Setup

    Assuming we saved the file at %USERPROFILE%\.alias.cmd, run the following command in Administrator Mode

    REM Adding `AutoRun` key (string) in Windows registry and setting the value to the file path. 
    reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor" /f /v "AutoRun" /t REG_SZ /d "%USERPROFILE%\.alias.cmd"

Step 3: After creating the alias file and configuring our system, another operation that can be performed is appending the alias file using the >> operator. It is perhaps the reason why this project exists.

    # Using Direct Command
    curl -L "alias-alchemy.ra101.dev?q=kubernetes" >> ~/.alias.sh
    
    # Using Alias
    fetch-alias kubernetes >> ~/.alias.sh
