Just (Visiting)

For when you want your aliases but you're using someone else's computer.

Have you ever paired with someone else, and then gone to type gco for git checkout, only to be told that the computer has no idea what this gco thingo is? Ever wanted to take your aliases with you without forcing you to pollute the terminal environment of whoever you're pairing with?

Just is just for you!

gem install just

Then you should run just setup and follow the instructions there.

The first port of call for just is the add command, which clones down a specified repository. This repository should be fairly light, containing just your aliases.

Here's how to run it:

just add radar/dot-files

This will add my dot-files repository to ~/.just/radar/dot-files.

Adding doesn't do anything by default so to make just start to use aliases, just use the use command:

just use radar/dot-files ryan-aliases

This will tell just to use the ryan-aliases file from radar/dot-files. And only that file.

You could also specify multiple files:

just use radar/dot-files gitaliases ryan-aliases

When you're done pairing, you can run this command to reset everything back to normal:

just me

Or:

just reset

Any aliases added by just will be forgotten.
