Shell Aliases

May 20, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

Atomic runs bash in non-interactive mode (bash -c), which doesn't expand aliases by default.

To enable your shell aliases, add to ~/.atomic/agent/settings.json (legacy ~/.pi/agent/settings.json is also read):

{
  "shellCommandPrefix": "shopt -s expand_aliases\neval \"$(grep '^alias ' ~/.zshrc)\""
}

Adjust the path (~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, etc.) to match your shell config.
