Aliases

Shortcuts for dash commands you run often.

Aliases are shortcuts for Kamal commands.

For example, for a Rails app, you might open a console with:

dash app exec -i --reuse "bin/rails console"

By defining an alias, like this:

aliases:
  console: app exec -i --reuse "bin/rails console"

You can now open the console with:

dash console

Configuring aliases#

Aliases are defined in the root config under the alias key.

Each alias is named and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores:

aliases:
  uname: app exec -p -q -r web "uname -a"

Aliases can include a destination with the -d flag:

staging_deploy: deploy -d staging

Generated from the gem's lib/dash/configuration/docs/alias.yml — the same reference dash docs alias prints in your terminal, so this page always matches your installed version.
