dutil

A small CLI that wraps common Docker and Docker Compose commands. Less typing, same result.

Installation

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/subtype-space/dutil/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Detects your OS and architecture and installs the appropriate binary to /usr/local/bin/dutil. Includes bash completion.

Command	Description
`down [file]`	`docker compose down`
`log\|logs <name>`	Follow logs for a container
`net\|network`	List Docker networks
`ps [name]`	List containers, optionally filtered by name
`pull [file]`	`docker compose pull`
`rebuild [file]`	Build, down, up -d
`reload [file]`	Down, up -d
`shell <name>`	Open a shell in a container (`/bin/bash` with `/bin/sh` fallback)
`up [file]`	`docker compose up` (attached)
`upd [file]`	`docker compose up -d` (detached)
`upgrade [file]`	Pull, down, up -d

[file] is an optional path to a compose file. If omitted, Docker Compose uses its default discovery.

Both a Go binary and the original bash script (dutil.sh) are available in releases. The installer pulls the Go binary by default.
