The following article provides a more detailed documentation than the one in the installer for the nmcli aliases used to simplify the process of managing network connections in a Linux system.
It also highlights that nmcli works well with window managers like sway or dwm, which typically have no UI to connect to networks. This makes nmcli an essential tool for these environments, despite the inefficiency of its syntax. This project aims to address this issue by improving the syntax and overall user experience for regular nmcli users.
The nmcon alias is used to connect to a WiFi network.The command requires the name of the WiFi network and the password as arguments. The syntax is as follows:
nmcon 'WIFI_NAME' password 'PASSWORD'
For example, to connect to a WiFi network named 'Office_Wifi' with the password 'password1234', you would use:
nmcon 'Office_Wifi' password 'password1234'
The nmdis alias is used to disconnect from a WiFi network. The command requires the name of the WiFi network as an argument. The syntax is as follows:
nmdis 'WIFI_NAME'
For example, to disconnect from a WiFi network named 'Office_Wifi', you would use:
nmdis 'Office_Wifi'
The nmstat alias is used to display the status of all the network devices. The command does not require any arguments. The syntax is as follows:
nmstat
The nmlist alias is used to display a list of all the network connections that have been established. The command does not require any arguments. The syntax is as follows:
nmlist
Please note that these aliases are simplified versions of nmcli commands and are intended to make the process of managing network connections easier and more intuitive for users.
This section provides two methods for installing and setting up the Neovim configurations from this repository: a full installation via a single command, and a step-by-step installation process.
Please note that these instructions assume you use a Unix-like operating system and a basic understanding of command-line operations. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the documentation for further guidance.
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have Git installed on your system. Git is a version control system that is essential for cloning and managing this repository.
If you do not have Git installed, you can do so using the package manager of your Linux distribution.
For Arch Linux, you can install Git using the pacman package manager with the following command:
sudo pacman -S git
For Debian, Mint, or Ubuntu, you can install Git using the apt package manager with the following command:
sudo apt install git
For OpenSuse, you can install Git using the zypper package manager with the following command:
sudo zypper install git
For Fedora, you can install Git using the dnf package manager with the following command:
sudo dnf install git
For CentOS or RHEL, you can install Git using the yum package manager with the following command:
sudo yum install git
For Alpine Linux, you can install Git using the apk package manager with the following command:
sudo apk add git
After installing Git, you can verify the installation by checking the Git version with the following command:
git --version
This command should return the installed version of Git. If Git is installed correctly, you can proceed with the installation as described in the previous sections.
To fully set up and install NMCLI-Simplified, execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/TheAnonymousCrusher/NMCLI-Simplified.git
cd NMCLI-Simplified
chmod u+x setup.sh
./setup.shIf you prefer to go through the installation process step-by-step, please follow the instructions below:
