🤔 Why I built it ?

I constantly create new VMs at my job, and the very first command I run usually fails because it was an alias typed by pure muscle memory. Once you start using aliases, it is hard to write full commands, especially those Kubernetes aliases.
Whenever I start a new language, I start building aliases. For example, while learning Java (+ Maven), I made:
alias jexec = "mvn exec:java -Dexec.args=$@".
Since there’s no standard alias collection for most tools, I created Alias Alchemy to be that open-source standard — a handy tool for whenever someone starts something new.
I wanted to learn Deno, and this is my "hello-world" project.
