Looking for ways to call different commands using the same alias

[ytbryan]

I know that aliases' name should be unique. But I'm just going to write this down to see if anyone has an idea to make this possible. Unconventional ways are fine.

What exactly are you thinking, to call a different command by context or to have many commands be called at the same time with a single alias?

[ytbryan]

Context.

~/jekyll/app ❯❯❯ serve
~/rails/app ❯❯❯ serve

The above is a simple example to illustrate. Both aliases are serve but should execute different commands. The latter should run rails server while the former should run jekyll serve

I have been looking at ways to do some form of fingerprinting. Didn't have time yet to implement it.
