I thought this would be hard, but turns out the following oneliner does it, with maybe no sideeffects ?
echo 'docker() { [ "$1" = "sh" ] && docker exec -it "$2" sh || command docker "$@"; }' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
This creates a bash alias for “docker ps” , every other command should run as normal
Now I just need to remember to run this one liner on every single computer I use in the future…
The
"$@"
doesn’t do that you think it does in an alias. It gets expanded on alias creation.Actually it works exactly as I intended it to
