[PATCH 0/1] Alias 'list'-subcommands to 'ls'

[PATCH 0/1] Alias 'list'-subcommands to 'ls'

[Cedric Schwyter]

Since many CLI-tools make use of this alias and many programmers are
used to it I thought I'd add it to git since I was missing such an alias.

I only added it to built-in subcommands for now, might add it to some
more commands in the future.

Is there a "git somecmd" that allows "git somecmd ls" form, while
these "git stash list", "git worktree list" subcommands take "list"
and not "ls"?  If so, this change may make sense, but otherwise, not
really.

Re: [PATCH 0/1] Alias 'list'-subcommands to 'ls'

[Cedric Schwyter]

As far as I am aware there are only "git ls-files", "git ls-refs", "git 
ls-tree", "git ls-remote" etc.

Yet I think this could be a nice little addition because I always catch 
myself using "ls" out of being used to it from everywhere else really.
