# QALI (q)
**Q**uick **Ali**asing
Note: we're currently in the stage of initial development.
## Installation
```shell
cargo install qali
```
This installs two separate binaries : `q` and `qali`.
The command `q` is meant for actions with the highest usage frequency, such as setting and alias or executing a command.
The command `qali` is meant as a companion allowing for subcommands and more functionality without influencing the namespace in `q` which is set reserved completly by the users.
## Usage
`q --help`
`qali --help`
## Examples:
### Set an alias
Example: set `gs` as `git status`
```shell
q -s gs "git status"
```
Set `p` as `python`
```shell
q -s p python
```
Set `p` to `python` with `qali`
```shell
qali set p python
```
### Execute an command via alias
Example: execute `git status`
```shell
q gs
```
Execute `python --version` (As of now, use `--` when executing a command to stop flags meant for the program being parsed as flags for qali itself.)
```shell
q -- p --version
```
### List all existing commands
`qali ls`
### Remove a command
Example: remove `gs` as `git status`:
`qali rm gs`
