Aliases

Legacy shell aliases for users migrating from virtualenvwrapper or similar tools.

PVM ships a set of short aliases for users coming from tools like virtualenvwrapper. They are enabled by default and can be toggled off with pvm config set shell.legacy_commands false.

Available aliases

mkenv <version> <name>    # → pvm env create <name> <version>
rmenv <name>              # → pvm env remove <name>
lsenv                     # → pvm env list
act <name>                # → pvm env activate <name>
deact                     # → pvm env deactivate

Disabling aliases

pvm config set shell.legacy_commands false

After changing this setting, run pvm config sync then restart your shell (or re-source your rc file) for the change to take effect.
