Agen

Generate shell aliases based on your most commonly entered commands.

Install with gem install agen and then run agen to build your aliases. Then be sure to source ~/.zshrc before using the new aliases. Use agen -h to see available options.

Usage: agen [options]
    -v, --version                    Version
    -n, --number=NUMBER              Number of aliases to generate
    -a, --auto                       Aliases will be generated and applied automatically
    -r, --rcfile=RCFILE              Path to shell rc file
    -s, --shell-history=HISTFILE     Path to shell history file

Right now, this will only work with zsh or bash, but you can specify unique shell config files using the -r and -h options (though there is no guarantee that your history file will be read properly). By default, agen reads from .zsh_history and writes to .zshrc.

When editing aliases interactively (which is the default), any commands that are ignored (via the i command) will be stored in the ~/.agen configuration file.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

• CLI will raise user friendly errors if you specify shell configuration files that don't exist.
• CLI will let you specify "meta" vs "full" commands.
  • Full command would be git checkout branch-name, meta command would be git checkout.
