Aliases are defined in the configuration file under the `aliases` key. The configuration is a map of alias name to command. When we run the command the we just do a literal replacement of the alias with the string. So if we have: ```yaml aliases: console: app exec -r console -i --reuse "rails console" ``` Then running `kamal console -r workers` will run the command ```sh $ kamal app exec -r console -i --reuse "rails console" -r workers ``` Because of the order Thor parses the arguments, this allows us to override the role from the alias command. There might be cases where we need to munge the command a bit more but that would involve getting into Thor command parsing internals, which are complicated and possibly subject to change. There's a chance that your aliases could conflict with future built-in commands, but there's not likely to be many of those and if it happens you'll get a validation error when you upgrade. Thanks to @dhnaranjo for the idea!
Kamal: Deploy web apps anywhere
From bare metal to cloud VMs, deploy web apps anywhere with zero downtime. Kamal has the dynamic reverse-proxy Traefik hold requests while a new app container is started and the old one is stopped. Works seamlessly across multiple hosts, using SSHKit to execute commands. Originally built for Rails apps, Kamal will work with any type of web app that can be containerized with Docker.
