In development, We spend a lot of time on the command line. We type a lot of commands on regularly.
I have created a shortcut for the most of the commands which I use on a daily basis some of them are below:
WP CLI
| Command | Keyboard Shortcut/Aliases |
|---|---|
| wp theme list | wpthl |
| wp plugin list | wppll |
Check all the available WP CLI commands etc. (all WP CLI commands list)
Example 1. Using shortcut wpthl instead of wp theme list
Example 2. Using shortcut wppll instead of wp plugin list
Some more commands with keyboard shortcuts/aliases are below:
Grunt
| Command | Keyboard Shortcut/Aliases |
|---|---|
| grunt release | grr |
| grunt minify | grm |
PHPCS
| Command | Keyboard Shortcut/Aliases |
|---|---|
| phpcs | pb |
| phpcbf | pbf |
Git
| Command | Keyboard Shortcut/Aliases |
|---|---|
| git add . | gaa |
| git commit –message | gcm |
| git checkout | gco |
| git pull origin | gpu |
| git push origin | gpp |
| git status | gs |
To create keyboard shortcuts using aliases is very simple. We can create any command shortcut/aliases.
Follow below simple steps:
- Open the file
.bashrcwhich is found in locationC:\Users\USERNAME\.bashrcand - Add below sample commands of Git & Grunt.
I found the article Terminal/Bash Command-Line Shortcuts with Aliases written by @jonsuh to create keyboard shortcuts for the Terminal/Git Bash.
I have added some more commands of Grunt, WP CLI & PHPCS on my local environment.
