Uh do aliases load in non-interactive shells?

  You could export BASH_ENV to have Bash processes source a given file at startup. Zsh has .zshenv, and Fish just has config.fish for everything with the ability to guard certain things within it to login only or non-interactive only.

  Create a wrapping binary instead mkdir -p ~/.local/bin printf '#!/usr/bin/env sh\nexec android-cli --no-metrics "$@"' > ~/.local/bin/android-cli echo 'PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshenv

    I'm pretty sure this will just call itself in a loop. You need to use the absolute path to the wrapped binary to distinguish it from the wrapper.

      Also it's not a binary :-)
    • figmert 6mo ago
      Aah! Yes absolutely right! Using `exec command android-cli` would work I believe

      Nope. I have this alias (a default on my distribution) and it's no loop: alias ls='ls --color=auto'
      • yorwba 6mo ago
        Creating an alias is not the same as putting an executable in your $PATH.

          That's true. So an alias won't do it if you use that tool from a script or something.
