Byk Alias Runner

Right-click to run byk aliases in VS Code.

Usage

Step 1 — Create a *.byk.json file in your project:

{
  "dev": "vite",       // right-click → Run Alias (Exact)
  "build": "vite build"   // executes: byk @run.build
}

Step 2 — Open the file in the editor, right-click any line → Run Alias (Exact) to execute the alias at the cursor.

Alternatively, right-click → Choose Alias… to search and run any alias from the file via the Quick Pick panel.

You can also right-click a *.byk.json file in the Explorer and select Choose Alias….

Supported Filenames

File Execution
run.byk.json byk @run.dev
release.byk.json byk @release.publish
.byk.json byk @.build

The extension auto-activates when the project contains *.byk.json.

Settings

Configure via VS Code settings.json:
