# Aka
aka is a development tool that generates permanent alias on the fly.
[](https://badge.fury.io/rb/aka2)
### Motivation
I use terminal with alias for work everyday. And I realise that to fully control my work flow, I would need to
manipulate the shortcuts in real time. Since there is no better way to control the shortcuts, I created my own.
Aka saves me time and allow me to achieve productivity through the creation of quick shortcut.
### The Workflow Manager for your Everyday Project
In other words, a delightful way to manage and grow your terminal shortcuts.
aka generate/edit/destroy/find permanent aliases with a single command.
aka requires ruby and is built for bash and zsh users.
