Best way to increase memory limit for local php/drush

Question

What is the best way to give a local php (together with drush for a drupal 8) more memory. Its not necessary for the web cgi/fast-cgi process itself, only for local admin tasks.

My solution was to copy your php.ini file from /usr/local/lib/php72/php.ini, set memory_limit and add an alias in my .bash_profile:

alias php='/usr/local/bin/php72 -c /home/beteigeuze/etc/php.ini'
alias drush='/usr/local/bin/php72 -c /home/beteigeuze/etc/php.ini /home/beteigeuze/bin/drush.phar'

is there an better solution?

You can also try the -d option, with which you can define an INI entry:

$ php72 -i | grep memory_limit # default
memory_limit => 128M => 128M
$ php72 -d memory_limit=256M -i | grep memory_limit
memory_limit => 256M => 256M

Similarly, you can put that in an alias in your .bash_profile.
