cmd_alias

Simple alias implementation (?) for windows using doskey

Usage

List available alias

alias

Set an alias

alias set key=value

Remove an alias

alias del key

Reload alias

alias load

Build

Not much to say, just build it, I guess.

git clone einjerjar/cmd_alias
cd cmd_alias
cargo build --release

Installation

• After building, expose the release file (/target/release/alias.exe) to path (either copy it to an existing exposed folder or add the build folder to path (not a good idea)).
• Run the setup.reg file included within the project at least once to apply the aliases.cmd on every instance of cmd.

• Run the file at least once to generate the alias file (there will likely be an error on the first run, you can ignore it).
• Profit.

Installation without Administrator rights

• Figure out a way to add the alias file to the cmd/ startup (mb, too lazy to see if possible).
• Profit.

Suggested Alias

Some suggested alias to for a more authentic feel (lol) (add them in the same order to prevent issues, or just use alias.exe directly!)

alias set alias=alias.exe set $*
alias unalias=alias.exe del $*

This way you can use alias and unalias in a similar to most unix oses.

Also, due to the way it is implemented, alias set and alias del actually runs alias list when there is no extra argument, thus allowing for alias and unalias to list the available aliases instead or error out, eyy :D.

As a bonus you can still use alias.exe incase you messed up.

Extra stuff

Actual list of all available commands

alias [list] [set/add] [del/remove] [load/silent/source/s]

Wanna support me stuff? :3
