😌 NAME

💅 DESCRIPTION

Description:

Add new aliases 🦋

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you say a word, incus learns what it actually means. slay.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

ngl these aren't even this command's flags, they're the family flags you inherit when you're part of the parent command's crew — but you still get to use every single one, so let's go 💜

  • --debug[=false] — Show all debug messages 🔥 (default is false, so turn it on when you wanna see everything)
  • --explain[=false] — If the command is valid, explain its parsed arguments instead of running it 🧠✨ (default false — lowkey the most underrated flag, it just tells you what you would have done)
  • --force-local[=false] — Force using the local unix socket 🫶 (default false)
  • -h, --help[=false] — Print help 🌈 (default false, because you're here for answers not vibes... ok actually help is also vibes)
  • --project="" — Override the source project 💀 (default is the empty string "")
  • -q, --quiet[=false] — Don't show progress information 🙈 (default false)
  • --sub-commands[=false] — Use with help or --help to view sub-commands 🎀 (default false)
  • -v, --verbose[=false] — Show all information messages 📣 (default false)
  • --version[=false] — Print version number ⭐ (default false)

🌟 EXAMPLE

here's the part where it gets iconic. three real examples, exactly as they are, no cap:

incus alias add list "list -c ns46S"
    Overwrite the "list" command to pass -c ns46S.

incus alias add volume "storage volume @ARGS@"
    Create a short command for managing volumes

incus alias add cat "exec @ARG1@ -- cat @ARG2@"
    Create a command for displaying file content of instances

so like — Overwrite the "list" command to pass -c ns46S, that's you remixing an existing command. Create a short command for managing volumes, that's you being efficient. and Create a command for displaying file content of instances, that's you being a whole legend about it. @ARGS@, @ARG1@, @ARG2@ are your little placeholder besties iykyk 💖
