please alias

Give please a shorter name, like pls or plz, so casual daily use is less to type.

Create an alias#

please alias pls

This creates a real symlink next to the please binary itself, so pls becomes a genuine command. It works in every shell and in scripts, and it does not need a new terminal or a sourced rc file to take effect.

List aliases#

please alias

Lists what you have set up.

Remove an alias#

please alias remove pls

Takes one back.

Name collisions#

If the name you pick already exists as a different program elsewhere on your PATH, please warns before shadowing it and asks you to confirm. If it collides with an unrelated file right next to please itself, please refuses outright rather than overwriting something that is not its own.
