For example, if you're running docker-compose a lot, and you have a custom environment variables file, it's annoying to type out docker-compose --env-file .my.env ... every time you want to do something! Bonnie can shorten this easily!

[scripts]
dc = "docker-compose --env-file .my.env %%"

The double percent sign (%%) at the end tells Bonnie to append any arguments you provide to the end of the command.

You can even insert custom arguments into custom places in a custom order!

[scripts]
greet.cmd = "echo \"Greetings %lastname. I see your

Over the last two weeks, I've been moving away from NodeJS and the JavaScript ecosystem to a great extent, mostly because I think the JavaScript world has blown itself out of proportion. To make a basic, performant, modern app, you now need to spend at least a day on proper boilerplate. The number of frameworks has grown exponentially, and I think the ecosystem is just flooded.

So, I decided to try out Elm, a functional programming language with no runtime errors (yes, only compile-time errors). It's fantastic! However, Elm is not designed for the backend, so I decided to finally learn Rust, something I've been meaning to do for about a year now.

Having adopted these two new languages, I found myself wanting a good system to shorten commands for me - like NPM or Yarn scripts. Make was the most obvious option, but it feels somewhat overkill for essentially an aliasing system. Makefiles also have their own syntax, which, although miniscule, was not something I had any desire to delve into. Instead, I decided my first Rust project would be a replacement for NPM and Yarn scripts - Bonnie!

Bonnie is a super-fast command aliasing tool designed to replace NPM or Yarn scripts entirely. You can define simple commands like so:

[scripts]
greet = "echo Hello World"

bonnie greet

[scripts]
greet = "echo Hello %%"

bonnie greet Donald Knuth in math-land

[scripts]
greet.cmd = "echo Hello %firstname %lastname"
greet.args = [
    "firstname",
    "lastname"
]

bonnie greet Donald Knuth
