Pseudo-Nym is a small but powerful alias manager for Unix-based operating systems built in Rust. It was created to simplify and streamline your shell experience by providing a quick and easy way to create, manage, and document your shell aliases and scripts. Nym allows the user to create aliases and scripts with descriptions all in one command, toggle them on and off, list them, and more.

Currently Nym has only been tested on zsh and bash shell environments.

To build and install nym follow these simple steps.

• Rust and Cargo

  curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

1. Install latest commit of nym via cargo

   cargo install --git https://github.com/WillHord/nym.git

2. Run install command with shell profile

    nym install <path_to_shell_profile>

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/WillHord/nym.git
   cd nym

2. Build nym and move binary to bin

   cargo build --release
   sudo install target/release/nym /usr/local/bin

3. Run install command with shell profile

   nym install <path_to_shell_profile>

nym <command> <args>

# Add alias
nym add alias example="echo 'testing'" "This is an example alias description"

# Add script
nym add script example.py

# Toggle alias/script
nym toggle example

# Remove alias/script
nym rm example

# Rename alias/script
nym rename example example2

# List aliases and scripts

nym ls

• Alias manager interface (allow for user to toggle, add, and delete all within one command)
• Rename command for aliases
• Manage Scripts as well as Aliases
• Aliases groups (enable sorting aliases and toggling in groups)
• Allow aliases to be read in a specific order (allows for aliases based on other aliases)
• Better installation (brew, cargo, etc.)
• Test on other shell environments (other than bash, and zsh)
• Download aliases from web (github repos)
• Export aliases to a file
