How can I launch Chrome with flags from command line more concisely?
command-line, macos, security, shortcut, webgl
Solution
Just make an alias in your .bashrc or .bash_profile
alias ogc='open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security'
And then reload your shell.
exec $SHELL
Now, every time you type `ogc` (or whatever you want to call it) in your terminal, it will run the full command `open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security`
Problem
I am developing a WebGL driven application and I want to launch chrome like this from the command line: ``` open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security ``` I just don't want to have to type that in every single time. Is there a way to easily turn that into a one word command? I am using a mac if it matters.
