Aliases

Aliases are shortcuts for Kamal commands.

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

kamal 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:

kamal 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"
