[topalias](https://github.com/CSRedRat/topalias) - Linux alias generator from bash/zsh command history with statistics, written on [Python](https://pypi.org/project/topalias/).

## Features

-   Generate short alias for popular command from bash/zsh shell history

-   Command history statistics & analytics

-   Parametrised input

-   Console help for all commands, options and arguments

-   Shell workflow hints

## Installation

From [pypi.org repository](https://pypi.org/project/topalias/):

```bash

pip3 install -U --user topalias

```

From source:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/CSRedRat/topalias

python3 topalias/setup.py install --user

```

Run as python script without install:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/CSRedRat/topalias

python3 topalias/topalias/cli.py -h

```

### Install requirements

```bash

sudo apt install python3 python3-pip -y

```

Add PATH environment variable for run Python tools as Linux utility:

```bash

echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

```

## Usage

![generated bash aliases](https://github.com/CSRedRat/topalias/raw/master/images/bash_screenshot.png "Bash topalias output")

Without parameters utility check if you use alias in ~/.bash_aliases - analyze and print usage statistics, then find new simple aliases

```bash

python3 -m topalias  # run as python module

topalias  # check aliases and print suggestion bash command history

topalias -h  # print help

topalias --zsh  # work with zsh shell command history

topalias --min=2  # set minimal length for generated acronym filter, so that exclude some short command and find long, hard, usable command

topalias --debug history  # only analyze local bash history and print filtered rows

```

Files path search order:

-   directory from execution parameter

-   .bash_history in . current directory

-   .bash_history in ~ user home directory

-   example development files in topalias/data

You can change dot files search path to another user home directory:

```bash

topalias -f /home/user  # or topalias --path /home/user

```

Also you can use topalias utility in [Bash for Git](https://gitforwindows.org) on Windows and in [WSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux).

## TODO

-   check if alias name already used

-   check if alias already added

-   add any another acronym algorithm with semantic

-   more statistics & analytics (used dir, utils, parameters, time)

-   alias max length parameter

-   command ignore list flag: top, emacs, vim

-   often used command "ssh username@servername" suggest add to .ssh/config/
