Aka

aka is a development tool that generates permanent alias on the fly.

Gem Version

Motivation

I use terminal with alias for work everyday. And I realise that to fully control my work flow, I would need to manipulate the shortcuts in real time. Since there is no better way to control the shortcuts, I created my own.

Aka saves me time and allow me to achieve productivity through the creation of quick shortcut.

The Workflow Manager for your Everyday Project

In other words, a delightful way to manage and grow your terminal shortcuts.
