See also "dog" which I've been using for a while, works well. https://github.com/ogham/dog

I actually already have a "q" alias, I think single-letter aliases are probably quite common. Are there many other well-known utilities with a single-letter name?

Edit: Turns out I have one installed, "z", a universal archiver front-end. https://legacy.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/z/

I use a “z” as well, but it’s a global cd tool. https://github.com/rupa/z/

[memorable]

I use Zoxide[0], which incidentally also uses "z" as its main command, and it's also a "cd" tool.

There is a `w` command. It's kind of like a mix of `who` and `uptime`.

Huh! Today I learned that w and who aren't the same. I always thought they were.

[zvr]

The `w` command is more of a `what` instead of `who`.

It would seem that the project is stalled, if not dead.

I discovered the project with this thread and I was about to file a bug report when I saw some comments about the maintainer who went silent a year ago or so.

I use doggo, a better version written in Go: https://github.com/mr-karan/doggo

[joshbaptiste]

Grr.. the latest dog binary release gives me "GLIBC_2.32 not found" errors on x64 Linux..

[LeoPanthera]

A version might be on your repo - it's in the Homebrew repo on Macs.

[alekun]

also “y”, careful where you try it

[kevincox]

It definitely makes sense for me to reserve 1-letter commands for the user.

I have n, a node version manager.
