Alias Command

Simplify Package Names

Tired of typing out long Git URLs for every phpkg command? The alias command lets you swap them for short, memorable names. Use aliases anywhere a package URL is needed—add, remove, update—and keep your workflow smooth.

Usage

Set an alias with a name and its package URL:

phpkg alias <alias> <package-url>

Example:

phpkg alias datatype https://github.com/php-repos/datatype.git

Now use it like this:

phpkg add datatype
phpkg remove datatype
phpkg update datatype

• Multiple Aliases: Same package, different names? Go for it:

    phpkg alias test-runner https://github.com/php-repos/test-runner.git
    phpkg alias tests https://github.com/php-repos/test-runner.git
    phpkg alias tr https://github.com/php-repos/test-runner.git

• Aliases are project-specific, stored in phpkg.config.json—unique per project.

Check Your Aliases

See what’s set:

phpkg alias list  # Coming soon—check your config for now

Or peek at phpkg.config.json under "aliases"—aliases map to URLs there. Ready to add a package? See Add Command.
