Adding alias to CLI built in #rust

Turns out it is very easy if using clap

I wanted to add command alias to a tool I’m building ¹

I didn’t know how to do it.

I wasn’t actively working on it either, just one of the items on the TODO list.

Then I was looking at the source code of some completely unrelated to my project, and I found the answer.

#[clap(name = "mycommand", visible_alias = "alias1", visible_alias = "a1")]

There can be multiple alias.

Usually one is shorter version of another, but it does not have to be that way.

I was trying to point to exact documentation for clap but I could not.

Closest I found is this
