To be honest, that is how it started. Setting an alias would solve the problem if you have few small repositories. However, I found that it did not scale for me: if you are working in a big codebase (like a mono repo) or many projects, adding/removing aliases and reloading can be tiresome. That is the reason why I ended up with the previous solution.

But at the end, it does not matter. If setting up individual aliases works for you, that is perfect solution for the problem.
