[Console] Don't list aliases as separate commands #18351
Description
I've created aliases for many of my commands which is nice for typing but it creates a lot of duplicates in the command list. e.g.
Available commands:
ci Commit outstanding changes # ALIAS
dependencies Lists all installed vendor packages.
deps Lists all installed vendor packages. # ALIAS
help Displays help for a command
install Installs dependencies
list Lists commands
merge Merge all branch heads
mysql Start MySQL REPL
napi Rebuilds your napi.json locally
optimize Optimizes composer's autoloader by caching class paths
pkg Lists all installed vendor packages. # ALIAS
hg
hg:backout Prepare a new changeset with the specified revisions undone
hg:branches List all named branches
hg:commit Commit outstanding changes
It would be nice if instead the command list either excluded aliases, or put them in the description. e.g.
Available commands:
dependencies [deps|pkg] Lists all installed vendor packages.
help Displays help for a command
install Installs dependencies
list Lists commands
merge Merge all branch heads
mysql Start MySQL REPL
napi Rebuilds your napi.json locally
optimize Optimizes composer's autoloader by caching class paths
hg
hg:backout Prepare a new changeset with the specified revisions undone
hg:branches List all named branches
hg:commit [ci] Commit outstanding changes
If you're worried about backwards compat or something, this can be made an option of the Application object. Right now it looks pretty hard-coded:
$this->commands[$command->getName()] = $command;
foreach ($command->getAliases() as $alias) {
$this->commands[$alias] = $command;
}
