As a #Drupal developer I am interested in using @ddev as a development tool, but adding `ddev` infront of every `drush` command is something I just cannot get used to.
Any experiences here? And any advise about why me and my team should make the switch?

@absoludo @ddev do you do container based development locally right now?

Also, you could just `ddev ssh` and SSH into the container and run commands like you normally would.

@mglaman @ddev
That's true, but then I cannot access git, correct?

@absoludo @ddev I'm fairly certain you can. It has a way to do SSH auth mounting. I don't know if you have to configure Git or whatnot.

I'm somewhat used to it since I've been using container-based development for 8 years. It was ether `docker exec...` or SSHing in

Guess I just have to dive in as I see the apeal, but old habits die hard.

@absoludo @ddev yeah, for the longest time I was still running composer and drush on host

I mean sometimes I still do, when I know PHP version is the same.

@mglaman @absoludo Lots of people use git inside the container. DDEV goes to great lengths to make it easy and reliable for you.

@ddev @mglaman
Cool, that's just me not trying #ddev then!
Will give it a fair try. Thanks all!

@absoludo @ddev @mglaman

I use fish shell and abbreviations.

ld lando drush
dd ddev drush
gs git status
gd git diff

Or you could alias drush ddev drush.

@jon @absoludo @mglaman Would you consider making a repo where you could share those? People ask this kind of thing periodically. I know everybody has their own approach. Mine is to stick with the "real" commands and avoid aliases because they're not available everywhere I work.

@ddev @jon @absoludo @mglaman Maybe the drush launcher could detect ddev and automatically run it if there's a running ddev project?

@berdir @ddev @absoludo @mglaman

Huh. Very interesting.

Consolidation/site-aliases has a feature to allow aliases to use "transports". I think it only supports ssh and docker-compose, but I think that would be the way to go here.

Will ask Greg in #drush drupal slack.
