`coal` is an alias container manager for the shell. It provides a system to quickly add/remove shell aliases, isolate aliases into containers, quickly switch between, create, and delete containers.

## Motivation

The inspiration for this idea came from working on multiple projects at once - when juggling various tedious build commands, things can quickly get unwieldy. The natural solution is to introduce aliases in one's `.bashrc` (or dotfile of their choosing). To avoid the mental overhead in coming up with unique aliases across contexts, a containerized solution was the most appealing.
