# Goinside

*goinside* is a command line tool that helps you run bash inside docker containers easily.

You can look at `goinside` as an alternative for `docker exec -it container_name bash` with some tweaks.

People have problems with going inside docker containers.

## Installation

Install package globally on your system:

```

npm i goinside -g

```

Or if you prefer yarn:

```

yarn global install goinside

```

## Usage

Let's say you have a docker container that has `bash` installed in it.

```

docker run -d  --name test_container ubuntu tail -F nothing

```

Now you can open up a terminal inside your container([with proper size](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38786615/docker-number-of-lines-in-terminal-changing-inside-docker)):

```

goinside test_container [bash/sh]

```

### dlist

Also this package comes with a modified version of `docker ps` command named `dlist`, you can use this one simply by typing:

```

dlist

```
