Overview

Use command line aliases for faster command typing. For example, after installing command line aliases, you can compile the application using

osmc Osm_App

instead of verbose

php vendor/osmphp/core/bin/compile.php Osm_App

Installation

Linux

Add the following lines to the end of your ~/.bashrc file:

alias osmc='php vendor/osmphp/core/bin/compile.php'
alias osmh='php vendor/osmphp/core/bin/hint.php'
alias osmt='php vendor/osmphp/framework/bin/tools.php'
alias osm='php vendor/osmphp/framework/bin/console.php'

Windows

1. Create a directory, for example C:\osm and extract all the files from the osmphp/windows-aliases Git repository.

2. Add C:\osm\windows-aliases-0.1 directory to the PATH system environment variable:

   1. Press Windows button to open the Windows Start menu.
   2. Type env, and open Edit the system environment variables window.
   3. Click the Environment variables button.
   4. In the System variables (the second one) section, double-click the Path variable.
   5. Using the New button, add C:\osm\windows-aliases-0.1 directory.
   6. Click OK button in all three opened modal windows.
