init
Initialize forrest and create helping aliases.
$ echo 'alias how="forrest run how"' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
try on your machine
This command creates an alias named 'how' for the command 'forrest ask:ai how' in the Bash shell.
- The 'echo' command is used to print the text provided as input to the terminal.
- The output of the echo command is redirected to the file '~/.bash_profile' using the '>>' operator. This file is used to store the configuration settings for the Bash shell.
- The text that is echoed contains a string that defines the alias, 'alias how="forrest ask:ai how"'. This tells the shell that whenever the user types the word 'how' on the command-line, the shell should expand it as if the user had typed 'forrest ask:ai how' instead.
So, when this command is executed, a new alias is saved in the '.bash_profile' file, and the user can use the shortcut 'how' to execute the 'forrest ask:ai how' command in the terminal.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
