4 CLI Aliases

This section is for people with experience using DeathSocketCLI. If you are new to the program, I recommend you stick to the verbose commands for now. When you are familiar with them, feel free to return here. You can view the verbose commands using the following link:

Console Program A.P.I.

The aliases in this console program have limitations when compared to PowerShell or Bash. This is because the aliases are hard-coded. You cannot create them yourself, unless you alter the source code, nor do so at run-time. The reason for this is because these "aliases" are essentially a hack on how Console.Waterworks (C.W.) works. They are basically re-directs to their "main/verbose" commands.

The main/only benefit of aliases is they reduce the amount of typing you need to do. Although, the short-hand nature of them means you need to already know the name of the full command first. If you do not, the aliases make little sense.

Alias commands are not displayed in the console's "help" section or cheat sheet because I want to avoid confusion. It is not my intention to make first-time users feel like they have two sets of commands they need to learn. Thus, here is the only place these aliases are documented, apart from the actual source code.

Original Command	Alias
`add-default`	`ad`
`add-grid`	`ag`
`list-colours`	`lc`
