Helping aliases
When testing your code on an indeni server there's some aliases that might help you.
Some of them might sound a bit lazy to you, but trust me, in the long run you'll save a lot of energy and time.
How to get it
The latest version of the aliases file is available in develop branch.
See ike-aliases.sh
How to activate it
- Create a file in your home folder called ".bash_aliases".
- Paste the content of the aliases script there.
- Run the command "source ~/.bash_aliases" to load them right away. This only needs to be done the first time.
If you have not already done so you must put the command-runner.sh in the "$PATH".
- Add the line "export PATH=$PATH:<command-runner-sh location>" to the file "~/.profile".
Replace "<command-runner-sh location>" with the location of command-runner.sh. - Run "source "~/.profile" to activate it right away. This only needs to be done the first time.
