alehouse
My custom zsh-plugin for zsh
inspired by betterbrew.
alehouse-zsh-plugin
contains short aliases for homebrew commands. For now I just have the ones from my personal .aliases
file and those from betterbrew.
The latest update adds the functionality to cd
to various Homebrew locations on the filesystem using hash -d
. To use just cd
to its hash with ~
preceding the hash. Example:
$ cd ~taps
/usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps
If you have the autocd
option enabled, you can simple enter the folders name with the ~
as a prefix to make things even faster!
$ ~brche
~/Library/Caches/Homebrew
This plugin is for my personal use and is always a work in progress. Feel free to use it, and dont be afraid make suggestions or offer any corrections to any mistakes you might find!
Example
Without typing full homebrew commands in console, like:
$ brew install zsh --build-from-source
there is more convenient alias:
$ bifs zsh
