Aliases

A collection of shell aliases and helpers for Git, Docker, Docker Compose, Vagrant, and Kubernetes. Source the bundle or individual files in your shell config (e.g. ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc).

Table of contents

• Requirements
• Installation
• Contents
• Git aliases
• Docker aliases
• Vagrant
• Kubectl
• General
• all

---

Requirements

• Bash or Zsh
• Git, Docker, Vagrant, kubectl as needed for the aliases you use
• macOS for dkreboot (uses osascript / open); countdown is assumed to exist for that helper
• jq for dkstate

---

Installation

Load everything:

source /path/to/aliases/all

Load only specific sets:

source /path/to/aliases/.git_aliases
source /path/to/aliases/.docker_aliases
source /path/to/aliases/.vagrant
source /path/to/aliases/.kubectl
source /path/to/aliases/.general

To load automatically, add the source line to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.

Optional private/non-committed files are also supported. The bundled all script already auto-sources .tmp if present, so you can keep machine-local or secret helpers outside git.

Contents

File	Description
.git_aliases	Git: commit, push, branch, prune
.docker_aliases	Docker & Docker Compose
.vagrant	Vagrant up/ssh/halt
.kubectl	kubectl shortcuts
.general	General utilities (e.g. kill by port)
all	Sources all of the above

Git aliases

All commit aliases support multi-line messages: pass multiple arguments and each becomes a paragraph, e.g.
gacp "feat: add login" "Implement OAuth." "Closes #123"

Alias	Description
gfc [message...]	Stage all, commit (multi-line ok), skip hooks (--no-verify)
gac [message...]	Stage all and commit (multi-line ok)
gacfile <file>	Stage all and commit using message from file (git commit -F)
gacfilep <file>	Stage, commit from file, then push
gacp [message...]	Stage, commit, then push
gacpb [message...]	Stage, commit, push to origin and set upstream
gfcpb [message...]	Same as gacpb but with --no-verify
gfcp [message...]	gfc + push (no-verify)
gp	Pull current branch
gfp	Push current branch, skip hooks
gfpb	Push to origin, set upstream, skip hooks
gb <branch>	Create branch and switch to it
gch <branch>	Checkout branch or ref
gchm	Checkout default branch (master or main)
gfpr	Fetch all remotes and prune deleted remote-tracking branches
gprune-local	Fetch origin (prune), then delete every local branch that has no matching branch on origin (current branch is never deleted)

dklf	docker logs -f
dkflush	Remove all containers
dkflush2	Remove dangling images

dke <container>	docker exec -it with /bin/sh
dkexe <container> <cmd>	docker exec -it with custom command
dkreboot	Quit and reopen Docker app (macOS), then wait ~2 min
dkstate <container>	Container state (requires jq)

Docker Compose

Alias	Description
dcu	docker compose up
dcud	docker compose up -d
dcd	docker compose down

dclf	docker compose logs -f
dcrefresh <service>	Stop, rm -f, up --build, then logs -f for service
dcip <container>	Container IP (inspect)
dcss <service>	Shell into service (bash if available, else sh as root)

---

Vagrant

Alias	Description
vg	vagrant
vguss <name>	vagrant up then vagrant ssh
vgss <name>	vagrant ssh

kdp	kubectl describe pod
kap	kubectl apply

---

all

Single entry script that sources (in order): .general, .vagrant, .git_aliases, .kubectl, .docker_aliases.

Use this to load the full alias set.

It also loads optional private files when they exist:

• .tmp for local non-committed aliases, exports, or experiments

That pattern is useful for machine-specific values or helper commands that should not be versioned.
