Command aliases are an eay way to customize the behaviour of Bazaar-NG. Aliases
2
are an easy way to create shortcuts for commonly-typed commands, or to set
5
Command aliases can be defined in the `[ALIASES]` section of your
6
**.bazaar/bazaar.conf** file. Aliases start with the alias name, then an
7
equal sign, then a command fragment. Here's an example ALIASES section:
13
recentlog=log -r-3..-1
14
ll=log --line -r-10..-1
15
commit=commit --strict
16
diff=diff --diff-options -p

Explanation of examples

=======================
21
* The first alias makes a new 'recentlog' command that shows the logs for the
23
* The `ll` alias shows the last 10 log entries in line format.
24
* the `commit` alias sets the default for commit to refuse to commit if new
25
files in the tree are not recognized.
26
* the `diff` alias adds the coveted -p option to diff
32
* You can override parts of the options given in an alias by overriding it.
33
For example, if you run `lastlog -r-5..`, you will only get five
34
line-based log entries instead of 10.
35
* Aliases can override the standard behaviour of existing commands by giving
36
an alias name that is thesame as the orignal command. For example, default
37
commit is changed with `commit=commit --strict`.
38
* Aliases can not refer to other aliases. In other words making a
39
**lastlog** alias and referring to it with a ***ll*** alias will not work.
41
This includes aliases that override standard commands
43
* Giving the `--no-aliases` to the bzr command will tell it to ignore aliases
44
for that run. For example, running `bzr --no-aliases commit` will perform a
45
standard commit instead not do a `commit --strict`.
