Aliases

Aliases let you define short names for commands you use often.

Create an alias

In the REPL:

devv > alias jf = json format
devv > alias h256 = hash - sha256
devv > alias uu = uuid --count 5
devv > alias enc = base64 encode
devv > alias dec = base64 decode

Use an alias

devv > jf {"a":1,"b":2}
{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2
}

devv > echo "hello" | h256
SHA256: 2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824

Aliases also work in direct mode:

devv jf '{"a":1}'

List aliases

devv > alias
  jf    → json format
  h256  → hash - sha256
  uu    → uuid --count 5
  enc   → base64 encode
  dec   → base64 decode

Remove an alias

devv > unalias jf

Persistence

Aliases are saved to ~/.config/devv/config.json and persist across sessions.
