Make a new file at the root folder called dc without extension.

Content example. Modify for your needs.

#!/bin/bash
trap "exit" 0
DC="docker compose" # add  `-f docker/compose.yml` if it's in another folder

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
    $DC ps -a
    
elif [ $1 == "up" ]; then
    $DC up -d
    
elif [ $1 == "php" ]; then
    if [ $# -gt 1 ]; then
        $DC exec php su app -c "${*:2}"
    else
        $DC exec php su app
    fi
    
elif [ $1 == "c" ]; then
    $DC exec php su app -c "composer ${*:2}"
    
elif [ $1 == "ci" ]; then
    $DC exec php su app -c 'composer install'
    
elif [ $1 == "recreate" ]; then
    $DC up -d --force-recreate ${*:2}
    
elif [ $1 == "build" ]; then
    $DC up -d --force-recreate --build ${*:2}
    
else
    $DC $*
fi

Give execute permission with chmod +x ./dc

And now you can run:

• ./dc - to show all containers with status
• ./dc up - to start in detached mode
• ./dc ci - to run composer install in the php container as user app
• ./dc c require spatie/image - to run any composer command inside php container
• ./dc php - interactive exec inside php container
• ./dc php ls -alh - run any command inside php container
• ./dc recreate - applies any modifications to docker-compose.yml
• ./dc recreate php - applies modifications to compose, only for php container
• ./dc build - if you have a custom dockerfile, does run dc up with a fresh build.
• ./dc logs -n 10 -f php - any other docker-compose command works as expected.
