Command alias possible?

[gmile]

Is it possible to install a tool but have it available in path not by the name of downloaded file? For example, install a tool call my-tool for it to become available in the $PATH as my-special-tool?

Here's a concrete example. I have this mise config:

[tools]
docker-compose = "2.33.0"

After installing, there's no docker-compose available in $PATH. However, a tool with this name becomes available as:

docker-cli-plugin-docker-compose

I want to "remap" it or "alias" it to be available as docker-compose. Is it possible to do that?

P.S. mise installs docker-compose using aqua registry. FWIW, in aqua, there appears to be a way to specify what's known as a "command alias". I am failing to find the way to configure a similar alias in mise.

you could probably do this in a postinstall hook

This appears to do the trick, and will do for now:

[tools]
docker-compose = "2.33.0"

[hooks]
postinstall = "cd $HOME/.local/share/mise/installs/docker-compose/$(mise current docker-compose) && ln -sf docker-cli-plugin-docker-compose docker-compose"

[settings]
experimental = true

Thank you!

With a post-install hook above, just executed mise upgrade --bump for the first time, and got this error:

sh: line 0: cd: /Users/eugene/.local/share/mise/installs/docker-compose/2.33.0: No such file or directory
mise WARN  error executing hook: command ["sh", "-c", "-o", "errexit", "cd $HOME/.local/share/mise/installs/docker-compose/$(mise current docker-compose) && ln -sf docker-cli-plugin-docker-compose docker-compose"] exited with code 1

mise upgrade --bump was upgrading docker-compose from 2.33.0 to 2.33.1
