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
| Yum@M MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/dev.test | |
| $ wpthl | |
| +————————+———-+———–+———-+ | |
| | name | status | update | version | | |
| +————————+———-+———–+———-+ | |
| | twentyeleven | inactive | none | 2.8 | | |
| | twentyfifteen | inactive | none | 2.0 | | |
| | twentyfourteen | inactive | none | 2.2 | | |
| | twentyseventeen | inactive | available | 1.6 | | |
| | twentysixteen | inactive | none | 1.5 | | |
| | twentyten | inactive | none | 2.5 | | |
| | twentythirteen | inactive | none | 2.4 | | |
| | twentytwelve | inactive | none | 2.5 | |
Example 2. Using shortcut wppll instead of wp plugin list
| Yum@M MINGW64 /c/xampp/htdocs/dev.test | |
| $ wppll | |

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.
