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:
14
recentlog=log -r-3..-1
15
ll=log --line -r-10..-1
16
commit=commit --strict
17
diff=diff --diff-options -p

Explanation of examples
20
=======================
22
* The first alias makes a new 'recentlog' command that shows the logs for the
24
* The **ll** alias shows the last 10 log entries in line format.
25
* the **commit** alias sets the default for commit to refuse to commit if new
26
files in the tree are not recognized.
27
* the **diff** alias adds the coveted -p option to diff
33
* You can override parts of the options given in an alias by overriding it.
34
For example, if you run **lastlog -r-5..**, you will only get five
35
line-based log entries instead of 10.
36
* Aliases can override the standard behaviour of existing commands by giving
37
an alias name that is thesame as the orignal command. For example, default
38
commit is changed with **commit=commit --strict**.
39
* Aliases can not refer to other aliases. In other words making a
40
**lastlog** alias and referring to it with a **ll** alias will not work.
42
This includes aliases that override standard commands
44
* Giving the **--no-aliases** to the bzr command will tell it to ignore aliases
45
for that run. For example, running **bzr --no-aliases commit** will perform a
46
standard commit instead not do a **commit --strict**.
