Pattern expansion to run commands

Question

Knowing I am able to run echo or mv to expand patterns like these: echo {0..9}{A..Z}. I am curious to know if there is a way to do the sam

Answer 1

You can use eval:

eval docker-compose\ {stop,rm,'up -d'}\;

Careful escaping/quoting is needed, though. Just test with echo instead of docker that it emits the correct commands:

$ echo docker-compose\ {stop,rm,'up -d'}\;
docker-compose stop; docker-compose rm; docker-compose up -d;
