AliasManager v0.2

Custom Terminal Alias Manager (Al.Ma.)

Usage

• Simple way to add / delete / edit custom terminal aliases in ~/.bash_profile
• Can be used to sync terminal aliases between various devices, projects, etc.
• Creates a backup of ~/.bash_profile (~/.backup_bash_profile) each time it runs

Setup

Format

Each custom alias is stored as a 2 column entry in alias.csv using the format:

shortcut, command to run

E.g.:

docs, cd ~/Documents/SomeImportantFolder
dls, cd ~/Downloads

Would generate the aliases:

alias docs=‘cd ~/Documents’
alias dls=‘cd ~/Downloads’

## To Run In Terminal, change to the folder where Al.Ma. is stored and run via Ruby:

ruby alias_manager.rb

Al.Ma. then reads through alias.csv, and either:

• Adds each custom alias to ~/.bash_profile
• Updates any changed custom alias
• Removes any custom alias from ~/.bash_profile (which no longer exist in alias.csv)

Requires:

Ruby

v0.2 Changes

• Prints out list of aliases added / removed
• Refactoring of code
