Aliases

Every alias and alias-like helper across fish, bash, and zsh, and where each one is defined.

Single source

.chezmoidata/aliases.yaml holds the shell-agnostic aliases as a list of sections, each with name/cmd items. chezmoi loads the file as template data (chezmoi data), and dot_config/shell/aliases.sh.tmpl ranges over it to produce ~/.config/shell/aliases.sh, which ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc source:

aliases:
  - section: "Editors / file managers"
    items:
      - { name: "e", cmd: "nvim" }
      # …

# Editors / file managers
alias e='nvim'

To add an alias for bash and zsh, add it to the YAML and run chezmoi apply.

Shared aliases

A ✓ means the alias exists in that shell with the command shown. Where fish uses a different command, the fish command is shown instead.

Editors / file managers

Alias	bash / zsh (YAML)	fish (`20-aliases.fish`)
`e`	`nvim`	✓
`e.d`	`cd ~/.config/dotstate/storage/Rogz/.config && yazi`	not defined
`e.f`	`cd ~/.config/fish && yazi`	`cd ~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_config/fish && yazi`
`e.h`	not defined	`cd ~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_config/hypr && yazi`
`e.k`	`yazi ~/.config/kitty`	`yazi ~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_config/kitty`
`e.n`	`yazi ~/.config/niri`	`yazi ~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_config/niri`
`e.v`	`yazi ~/.config/nvim/lua`	✓
`e.y`	`yazi ~/.config/yazi`	`yazi ~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_config/yazi`
`e.t`	`nvim ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf`	`nvim ~/.local/share/chezmoi/dot_config/tmux/tmux.conf`
`hx`	`helix`	✓ (listed under Tools in fish)

The fish editor aliases open the chezmoi source tree directly. In symlink mode, ~/.config/<tool> files are symlinks into that tree, so both versions edit the same files.

Quick directory jumps

Alias	bash / zsh (YAML)	fish
`cdc`	`cd ~/.config && yazi`	✓
`cdd`	`cd ~/Developer && yazi`	not defined
`cdk`	`cd ~/Documents/Knowledge && obsidian`	✓
`cdl`	`cd ~/.local && yazi`	✓
`cds`	`cd ~/.local/share/services && ls`	✓
`cdw`	`cd ~/Downloads && yazi`	✓
`,,`	not defined	`cd ~/.local/share/chezmoi && yazi`

Tools

Alias	Command	fish
`dd`	`lazydocker`	✓
`gg`	`lazygit`	✓
`ff`	`exec fish`	✓
`npx`	`bunx`	✓
`sm`	`sudo micro`	✓
`sd`	`ssh prad@<lan-host>` (a machine on the local network)	✓
`oc`	`opencode`	✓
`dss`	`dotstate sync`	✓
`fabric`	`fabric-ai`	✓
`bk`	`bead-kanban`	✓
`sua`	`shelly upgrade-all -n`	✓
`lc`	`leetcode`	✓
`tk`	`task`	✓
`..`	not defined	`cd ..`

dd shadows coreutils dd in interactive shells. Use command dd for the real one.

fish-only aliases

Bun

Alias	Command
`br`	`bun run`
`br.d`	`bun run dev`
`br.b`	`bun run build`
`br.t`	`bun run test`
`bi`	`bun install`
`bg`	`bun install -g`
`bx`	`bunx`

bg replaces fish’s job-control builtin. Use builtin bg to resume a background job.

Shell-specific extras

All three shells define these outside the YAML: in 20-aliases.fish for fish, and in the tail of aliases.sh.tmpl for bash and zsh.

Name	Kind	Definition
`cpy`	alias	`wl-copy` if available, else `pbcopy`
`pst`	alias	`wl-paste` if available, else `pbpaste`
`q`	function	`exit`. Runs `ya emit quit` first when `$YAZI_ID` is set, so the parent yazi also quits
`celar`, `claer`	alias	`clear` (interactive only)
`ls`	alias	`eza --icons` when eza is installed (interactive only)

Abbreviations

No fish abbr definitions are committed. Abbreviations live in fish_variables, which chezmoi ignores.

The following are functions or scripts, not aliases, and are documented elsewhere:

c, cd, y/yy, clip-last, ghg, ghn, gho: per-shell functions (fish, bash and zsh).
pnpmf, pnpmfd, pnpmfr, pnpmfw, pnpmfx: fish workspace helpers (fish).
ai, pj, gop, fab, gdc, and the other ~/.local/bin tools: Scripts.
