Quick Aliasing
QALI can... - Shorten long & complex commands - Act as a namespace for your custom scripts (stop worrying about conflicting names with system commands!) - Make you type less - Reduce your mental workload
shell
brew tap JettChenT/qali
brew intall qali
download the latest release of your platform, unzip, and move q and qali binaries to your bin folder (usually /usr/local/bin)
A Rust installation is required
shell
cargo install qali
To run the QALI on a windows machine without encoding errors, use windows terminal.
q.exe works...
but qali.exe somehow gets detected as a trojan virus (I wish I know how to make one (>_<)
This can be solved by allowing the "virus" in windows defender.
Luckily, qali.exe is not required for simple actions such as setting and executing an alias.
This installs two separate binaries : q and qali.
The command q is meant for actions with the highest usage frequency, such as setting and alias or executing a command.
The command qali is meant as a companion allowing for subcommands and more functionality without influencing the namespace in q which is set reserved completly by the users.
q --help
qali --help
q -s hi "echo hi"q -s hi hello.sh (EXPERIMENTAL) (Works iff your shell installation has the name "sh")q -s hi hello.py (EXPERIMENTAL) (Works iff your python command has the name "python")q -s hi https://beta.sayhello.so Example: set gs as git status
shell
q -s gs "git status"
Set p as python if p doesn't exist
shell
q p python
Set hi to ./hi.py with qali
shell
qali set hi ./hi.py
Method 1: q
Method 2: qali select
Example: execute git status
shell
q gs
Execute python --version (As of now, use -- when executing a command to stop flags meant for the program being parsed as flags for qali itself.)
shell
q -- p --version
qali list
Alternatively, you can set q -s ls "qali list" to shorten this.
Example: remove gs as git status:
qali remove gs
Alternatively, you can set q -s rm "qali remove" to shorten this.
