Persistent op run Rather Than Manually Calling it

Hey @alexclst,

Thank you for trying out the CLI beta. We really appreciate it.

One way that may help to no longer forget adding op run before any linode-cli command is to make an alias:


alias linode-cli="op run -- linode-cli"


You can store your Linode API token environment variable in a file (e.g. in ~/.op/linode-cli and then the alias would be like this:

alias linode-cli="op run --env-file ~/.op/linode-cli -- linode-cli"


You can add this to your terminal's profile so that the alias works for all terminals that will be opened:

For Bash

1. Open a new terminal and open up .bash_profile:
   
nano .bash_profile


2. Add the alias at the end of the file:
   
alias linode-cli="op run --env-file ~/.op/linode-cli -- linode-cli"


3. Save the file with 'control+o', then exit with 'control+x'.

4. Refresh the shell environment:
   
source ~/.bash_profile


For Zsh

1. Open a new terminal and open up .bash_profile:
   
nano .zshrc


2. Add the alias at the end of the file:
   
alias linode-cli="op run --env-file ~/.op/linode-cli -- linode-cli"


3. Save the file with 'control+o', then exit with 'control+x'.

4. Refresh the shell environment:
   
source ~/.zshrc
