[SOLVED] Does docker support command aliases similar to Git aliases?

Issue

I've been always struggling with docker when it comes to common tasks, like removing all exited containers, killing them or doing some maintenance tasks with docker images. Is there a way to define a docker command alias like we have in git, for example

[alias]
    last-commit = show --pretty=format: --name-only HEAD^{commit}

I would like to define a command to remove all exited containers, for example

instead of this

docker rm $(docker ps -a -f status=exited -q)

I would like to do this

docker clean

Solution

There are some ways to do. One easy way is to set function in your .profile or .bashrc

docker_clean() {

  docker rm $(docker ps -a -f status=exited -q)
}

then you can run docker_clean directly in shell.

There is a lot of projects in github you can refer to set functions or alias, here I list some of them.
