Two videos ago you might have seen me very quickly write out a command as K get pods as opposed to cutesy
DL get bots.
Now if you're on K get pods right now.
I can just about guarantee you're going to get an error something says Unknown command K or something
very similar.
Let me tell you a little bit more about this shortcut.
This is something that I do personally.
You're going to see very few other people do this but it's something I found that really effective just
to save my self a tiny little bit of time every single day.
I found that writing out the word cube TTL is just a little bit annoying.
I make typos in it all the time and that's just annoying I don't want to do it.
So instead I set up an alias on my computer but anytime I write out k it will be automatically translated
into cubes TTL.
For me the exact process of how you do this is going to vary based upon your personal computer setup.
I personally use a shell called Z shell that means that the program that is running inside of my terminal
and interpreting the commands that I run in or I type in that command or that program is called Z shell.
You might be using something called Bash instead.
I don't really know.
It really comes down to what you are doing on your local machine.
So in setting up this alias you are going to have to do a little bit of research.
Let me show you how I do it on XYZ Show so I would open up inside my code Ed my Z shell RC file.
If you are running bash it would probably be Bashar C instead
so I can open it up and inside of here.
I got a little bit of shell configuration and the list of different aliases so these are commands that
I could type into my terminal and they will be automatically expanded into something else instead.
For me I write an alias k equals cube CTO.
So again anytime I put in K it'll be expanded automatically.
I've also got a little shortcut for Docker P.S. as well so I can type in just DP s and that will list
out all my running terminals are awesome.
All my running console containers so many piece of terminology here it will list out all my different
running containers so again you might see me throughout the course running out.
Just k if you ever see me right K I do not mean to in this course.
I mean to show you the exact command every single time but every now and then and I'm trying to do something
very quickly.
I might accidently fall back to writing out k instead and if I do so my apologies I do recommend you
try out this little alias on your own if you figure out how to set it up because it is just a nice little
time saver.
Okay.
That's it.
That's all I want to discuss with posture here.
