Subject: Using '--help' for aliases
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 00:11:29 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1498070489.32360.14.camel@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello all,
I am yet another user of 'git alias' (who wouldn't ?). It has become so
natural to me to use the aliased version that at some point of time I
tried the following,
> $ git co --help
> `git co' is aliased to `checkout'
That made me wonder. Git is able to inform the user that 'co' is
aliased to 'checkout' but isn't it possible for it to take one step
more to display help ? Just wondering if there were any reason for not
doing it.
