Bash aliases installed by getlino¶

The following command aliases are defined in ~/.lino_bash_aliases.

The `~/.lino_bash_aliases` file ¶

~/.lino_bash_aliases¶: Contains several aliases and shell functions.

This file was created by getlino configure and we asked you (in Install your Lino developer environment) to source it from within your ~/.bash_aliases or your ~/.bashrc file.

When installing Lino on a production server it is a system-wide file in /etc/getlino/lino_bash_aliases.

`go`¶

go¶: cd to one of your local project directories using its nickname.

For an introduction, see The inv command.

The go command is a shell function, you can see what it does by saying:

$ type go
go is a function
go ()
{
    for BASE in ~/lino/lino_local ~/lino/env/repositories ~/lino/env/repositories/book/lino_book/projects
    do
      if [ -d $BASE/$1 ] ; then
        cd $BASE/$1;
        return;
      fi
    done
    echo Oops: no project $1
    return -1
}

In case you also use the Go programming language on your computer, you might want to change its name from “go” to “goto”. You do this by simply editing your ~/.lino_bash_aliases file.

Note how the for BASE in of the go command also loops over the directory ~/lino/env/repositories/book/lino_book/projects. This directory contains our demo projects.

`runserver`¶

runserver¶: An alias for LINO_LOGLEVEL=DEBUG python manage.py runserver

`pm`¶

pm¶

An alias for python manage.py, in other words for executing a django-admin command.

This alias is installed by getlino configure.

`a`¶

a¶

Expands to . env/bin/activate.

This alias is installed by getlino configure.

`pywhich`¶

pywhich¶

Shortcut to quickly show where the source code of a Python module is coming from.

This is useful e.g. when you are having troubles with your virtual environments.

The pywhich command is actually also a simply shell function:

function pywhich() {
  python -c "import $1; print($1.__file__)"
}
