Show HN: Open-source macOS CLI tool for aliasing and timing command line runs

This repository provides a Homebrew tap for installing the ez CLI tool on macOS.

ez streamlines CLI command execution through aliases. It allows you to save frequently used or complex shell commands as short, memorable aliases, making your terminal workflow faster and more efficient.

Benefits of using it include:

• Context-specific command sets that are easy to share to the team: Aliases are stored in a .ez_cli.json file in each directory.
• Timed runs: After each command execution, ez prints out the duration. This gives you information about your workflow efficiency without any extra effort.
• Parallel runs: By default commands are sequential, but parallel commands are supported as well. When run in parallel, a subprocess is created for each command.
