shortcuts
=========

[](#shortcuts)

Console tool to call sets of commands using short aliases.

A distinctive feature is that it is configured entirely in **PHP**, which means accessibility of **code-completion**, finding of **usage**, using of your application **constants**, **validation** and actually brings the whole range of PHP possibilities and your IDE features.

The disadvantage of this is that the configuration is more verbose compared to YAML and other simple formats, but it is negligible compared to the benefits that the integration into the host application brings.

installation
------------

[](#installation)

### requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.2+
    php-cli package is enough (for example on Alpine Linux it can be installed by `apk add php82-cli`).

### download

`sudo php short.phar install-global`

or any custom alias:

`sudo php short.phar install-global myalias`
