cli

---

Options for configuring CLI behavior, such as command line aliases.

Backend: pants.core

Config section: [cli]

Basic options

alias

--cli-alias="{'key1': val1, 'key2': val2, ...}"
PANTS_CLI_ALIAS

default: {}

Register command line aliases.

Example:

[cli.alias]
green = "fmt lint check"
all-changed = "--changed-since=HEAD --changed-dependents=transitive"

This would allow you to run scie-pants-linux-x86_64 green all-changed, which is shorthand for scie-pants-linux-x86_64 fmt lint check --changed-since=HEAD --changed-dependents=transitive.

Notice: this option must be placed in a config file (e.g. pants.toml or pantsrc) to have any effect.

Advanced options
