Good Practice or Not - Add Wrapper for Custom Shell Aliases?
My question is whether it is good practice to include a unique wrapper phrase for custom commands and aliases.
For example, lets say I use the following command frequently:
apt update && apt upgrade -y && flatpak update
I want to save time by shortening this command. I want to alias it to the following command:
update
And lets say I also make up a command that calls a bash script to scrub all of of my zfs and btrfs pools:
scrub
Lets say I add 100 other aliases. Maybe I am overthinking it, but I feel there should be some easy way to distinguish these from native Unix commands. I feel there should be some abstraction layer.
My question is whether converting these commands into arguments behind a wrapper command is worth it.
For example, lets say my initials are "RK". The above commands would become:
rk update
rk scrub
Then I could even create the following to list all of my subcommands and their uses:
rk --help
I would have no custom commands that exist outside of rk
, so I add to total of one executable to my system.
I feel like this is the "cleaner" approach, but what do you think? Is this an antipattern? Is is just extra work?
I feel both seen and called out lol
Lol. Emphasis on the H in IMHO. I meant no offense, it's a valid point.
No offense taken, I just wasn't expecting to get read like that lmao — I guess having to operate Other People's Servers really causes a certain kind of (recognizable) cynicism
