Install Link to heading

git clone https://gitlab.com/sdwolfz/docker-here.git
cd docker-here
sudo make install

Instead of doing this:

docker run --rm -it -u "$(id -u)":"$(id -g)" -v "$PWD":/here -w /here alpine ls

Now you can do this:

docker-here alpine ls

You can change both the working directory and the mount path with -w:

docker-here -w /work alpine pwd

Run as root with the -r flag:

docker-here -r alpine whoami

Or do a dry-run using -V:

docker-here -V alpine ash

# docker run --rm -it -u 1000:1000 -v /home/user:/here -w /here alpine ash

And more importantly, it can be used with envchain, whereas bash aliases could not.
