Alias

Botkube can define multiple aliases for arbitrary commands. The aliases are replaced with the underlying command before executing it. Aliases can replace a single word or multiple ones. For example, you can define a k alias for kubectl, or kgp for kubectl get pods.

Aliases work for all commands, including executor plugins and Botkube built-in ones. To learn more about how to configure Executors, see the Executor section.

Aliases are defined globally for the whole Botkube installation. Once they are configured, read the Aliases section in Usage document.
