Project description

Dynamic Alias

Dynamic Alias (dya)

A declarative CLI builder that transforms complex command-line workflows into simple, memorable aliases with smart autocompletion.

Why Dynamic Alias?

Modern infrastructure professionals juggle dozens of CLI tools daily—AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, databases, and more. Each tool has its own syntax, flags, and resource identifiers. Dynamic Alias lets you define once, use everywhere:

# Instead of remembering:
aws ssm start-session --target i-0abc123def456 --region us-east-1

# Just type:
dya ssm prod-web-server

Quick Start

# Install
pip install dynamic-alias

# Create ~/.dya.yaml
echo "
config:
  history-size: 100

---
type: command
name: Hello World
alias: hello
command: echo 'Hello from Dynamic Alias!'
" > ~/.dya.yaml

# Run
dya hello
