Create b2d alias #84

Closed ahmetb closed 8 years ago

Please consider adding another symlink in $PATH called b2d, this would make things easier (e.g. kubernetes -> k8s). I personally use Homebrew to install boot2docker. So it might be better to have in both .pkg and brew formula.

While I'm certainly a fan of short, easy to use aliases, what's the justification for dictating this particular one for all our users? I usually just boot2<tab> (which isn't much longer than b2d already).

Here's my use case: I run "boot2docker up" and I immediately write "boot2docker ip/ssh" but while waiting in terminal emulator (bash not in prompt mode) tab completion doesn't work.

Another thing is, Windows console (cmd.exe) doesn't have tab completion as far as I know. Just a casual suggestion, might be neat to have and doesn't hurt.
