Degoog — Bang command aliases

Setup

1. Create data/aliases.json (or set DEGOOG_ALIASES_FILE to another path).
2. Edit the file with your aliases:

{
  "jelly": "jellyfin",
  "search": "meili",
  "id": "uuid"
}

Each key is the alias (what the user types after !). Each value is the target command trigger. So !jelly runs the same command as !jellyfin.

3. Restart the server. Aliases are loaded at startup.

Rules

• Aliases cannot override existing command triggers or built-in aliases.
• User-defined aliases show up in !help next to their target command.

Built-in command aliases

Some commands ship with aliases defined in their source:

Engine shortcuts

Search engines can define a bangShortcut so users can search that engine only:

Example: !g linux kernel searches only Google for “linux kernel”.

Custom path

Set DEGOOG_ALIASES_FILE to load aliases from a different location, e.g. /etc/degoog/aliases.json.
