bl alias

Manage reusable command aliases

Manage command aliases stored in boiler.conf.json.

Usage patterns:

bl alias List all aliases bl alias name=cmd Set or update an alias bl alias name Get one alias value bl unalias name Remove an alias (use 'unalias' command)

Positional Arguments & Variables:

  • Aliases support dynamic positional arguments (bl__1, bl__2, ...) and inline variables (bl__VAR_NAME).
  • When positional arguments are used, any trailing unconsumed arguments are automatically appended.

Alias names are case-insensitive. Hyphens and underscores are preserved.
