Laravel Artisan Aliases
If you live in the command it's always good to save some keystrokes, specially for commands that you keep typing. This package will help you create alias for you artisan commands, and more..
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
>_ composer require caneco/artisan-aliases
Registering the service provider
In Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. But if needed just add the service provider in config/app.php
file:
'providers' => [
// ...
Caneco\ArtisanAliases\ArtisanAliasesServiceProvider::class,
];
Publishing the package assets
To publish the configuration file and .laravel_alias
, execute the following command and pick this Service Provider:
>_ php artisan vendor:publish
Which provider or tag's files would you like to publish?:
[0 ] Publish files from all providers and tags listed below
[1 ] Provider: Caneco\ArtisanAliasesExample:
[… ] ...
Or do it in a single command:
>_ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Caneco\ArtisanAliases\ArtisanAliasesServiceProvider"
When published, this is the contents of the config file:
return [ /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Artisan Alias Master Switch |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | This option may be used to enable/disable all Artisan alias | defined in your local or global `.laravel_alias` file */ 'enabled' => env('ARTISAN_ALIAS_ENABLED', true), /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Default Alias File |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | This option allows you to have three ways of load the list of alias. The | `global` option will only load the alias defined in your home directory, | while the `local` option, will limit the alias from the list in your | application. Finally, The `both` option, or anything else, will | load the alias from both locations. | | Supported: "global", "local", "both", */ 'use_only' => 'both', ];
Usage
After publishing the initial files, your alias will be stored folder locally in the application directory; or globally in your home directory. And like any other bash alias file the contents will have following format:
laravel="inspire"
# cc="clear-compiled"
Listing existing alias
To list the current alias available you can run the following command:
>_ php artisan alias --list
Laravel `Artisan Aliases` 1.1.0
Usage:
alias [-g|--global] [--] [<as>]
Available alias:
laravel inspire
cc clear-compiled
Also, the available alias in appear on your artisan command list:
$ php artisan list
...
Available commands:
alias Create an alias of another command
cc * Alias for the `clear-compiled` command
clear-compiled Remove the compiled class file
down Put the application into maintenance mode
...
inspire Display an inspiring quote
laravel * Alias for the `inspire` command
list Lists commands
...
Adding new alias
Add your alias directly in the file .laravel_alias
, or just use the artisan command:
>_ php artisan alias laravel "inspire"
And, if you pass the --global
option the alias will be registered instead in the .laravel_alias
of your home directory.
>_ php artisan alias cc="clear-compiled" --global
If you dont pass the required arguments the --list
option will be triggered, and you will be presented with the command info; usage; and list of alias available.

Quote surrounding
Surrounding the command with quotes are not mandatory, but if the command to be aliased has some spaces you must use them.
Multiple commands
An alias can have multiple commands associated by using the operators &&
or ||
. And, just like bash, when using &&
the sequence of the commands will terminate if one of them returns a value bigger than zero. While the ||
will continue no matter what.
# EXAMPLE
tables-up=notifications:table && queue:table && queue:failed-table && ...
Shell commands
If you prefix your alias with an exclamation point, will be treated as a shell command.
Aliasception…
Yes, you can also create alias of alias...
Artisan groups
If you set your alias with a namespace like boot:tables
or boot:cache
, Artisan list will group your alias toghether.
# EXAMPLE
boot
boot:cache * Alias for the `config:cache || route:cache || view:cache command`
boot:tables * Alias for the `cache:table || notifications:table || queue:failed-table || queue:table || session:table command`
Gotchas ⚠️
- Currently, to modify or delete any alias you need to open the
.laravel_aliases
and do it manually but it's planned to have a way of doing from the terminal. - Adding an alias with the same name as other it will result with an exception.
- Having two alias manually defined in the
.laravel_aliases
the last alias command will prevail. - An alias with the same name as an Artisan command, the Artisan prevail.
Supported versions

Road map
Artisan Alias is stable but there is still some things that I would like to add in the package.
Here's the plan for what's coming:
- Remove an existing alias using the option
--d|delete
- Firing a
@handle
method if alias has a::class
reference - Alert the user try to add an alias with
sudo
in the command (usefull?) - Add comments
- Allow to replace an existing alias using the option
--force
- Add tests
