How can I launch Chrome with flags from command line more concisely?

Question

I am developing a WebGL driven application and I want to launch chrome like this from the command line:

open -a Google\\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security
         


        

Answer 1

Just make an alias in your .bashrc or .bash_profile

alias ogc='open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security'

And then reload your shell.

exec $SHELL

Now, every time you type ogc (or whatever you want to call it) in your terminal, it will run the full command open -a Google\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security
