Using aliases ​

Organization shorthand ​

Organization names that end with -presets have a dedicated shorthand of the format organization:repository. For instance, the presets in the laravel-presets organization can be used with laravel:<preset-name>.

Custom aliases ​

If you are often using the same preset, you can define a custom alias for it in a global configuration file. Preset will read the ~/.presetrc.json file and look for the aliases property. This must be an object which keys are alias names and values are preset informations.

Repository alias ​

A repository alias can be defined with a value that implements the following interface:

ts
interface RepositoryPreset {
  type: 'repository'
  organization: string
  repository: string
  ssh?: boolean
  path?: string
  tag?: string
}

The path option determines the sub-directory in which the preset is stored. The tag is the Git tag or branch to fetch, and setting ssh to false will force the use of the web URL (using https) when cloning the repository.

For instance, the following configuration will make the preset apply config command apply the preset hosted in the innocenzi/config repository:

json
{
  "aliases": {
    "config": {
      "type": "repository",
      "organization": "innocenzi",
      "repository": "config"
    }
  }
}

Local aliases ​

An alias stored locally can be aliased using the following interface:

ts
interface LocalPreset {
  type: 'directory' | 'file'
  path: string
}

For instance, the following configuration will make the preset apply config command apply the preset in the ~/presets/config/preset.ts file:

json
{
  "aliases": {
    "config": {
      "type": "file",
      "path": "~/presets/config/preset.ts"
    }
  }
}

The directory type is the same, but you can specify the directory instead of the preset file, which will be found automatically if configured properly.
