Project-Scoped Command Aliases

Stop memorizing project-specific commands or digging READMEs.
Share aliases easily with the whole team.

Why ez?

Aliases are stored per-directory in .ez_cli.json. Commands stay with the project they belong to.

No global aliases means no accidental damage in a different directory. Commands only exist where they're defined.

Commit aliases .ez_cli.json to your repo with a single file. New team members run the same commands on day one.

Built with Swift for macOS. Instant startup, zero third-party dependencies.

Zero telemetry. No data sent to the cloud. Open-source under the MIT license.

Full TTY passthrough for interactive tools. Run vim, ssh, or any command that needs user input.

Shell completions for zsh. Type ez and tab to see all available aliases.

Runtime logging built-in. See exactly how long your builds, tests, and deploys take.
