Using Aliases Effectively
Master the alias system for fast documentation access
Aliases let you save frequently used documentation sites with short names.
Creating Aliases
# Common programming languages
fresh alias add python https://docs.python.org/3/
fresh alias add js https://developer.mozilla.org/
fresh alias add rust https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/
fresh alias add go https://go.dev/doc/
# Frameworks
fresh alias add react https://react.dev/
fresh alias add vue https://vuejs.org/guide/
fresh alias add next https://nextjs.org/docs
# Tools
fresh alias add git https://git-scm.com/doc
fresh alias add docker https://docs.docker.com/Using Aliases
Instead of URLs
# Full URL
fresh list https://docs.python.org/3/
# With alias
fresh list pythonCombining with Commands
# Search
fresh search "async" python
# Get specific page
fresh get react/hooks
# Sync for offline
