Shortcuts for the chef knife command

kknife lets you use the shortest substring to uniquely identify a knife sub command. kknife also provides a k script to launch the lookups

k n e somenode = knife node edit somenode

k c u somebook = knife cookbook upload somebook

k e u ff somefile = knife cookbook from_file somefile

k -l lists all your commands

k -d might tell you what's going wrong.

Lookups

Shortcuts and ambiguous commands are currently statically defined in lib/kknife/lookup.rb. These will be user configurable/overridable. Some form of json/yml blob in ~/.chef/ should do.
