Only show one result for overlapping aliases #2

Closed rdnetto closed 7 years ago

I get the following output for git status:

$ git status
Found existing alias for "git". You should use: "g"
Found existing alias for "git status". You should use: "gs"

It would be nice if it only showed the longest matching alias, rather than all of them.

This is something I was actaully wondering how to handle correctly.

I think it's useful to see multiple options for aliases that can be used, but I also agree that showing multiple results can be too much to display to the user.

Perhaps I can make this a configurable option.

MichaelAquilina commented 7 years ago

How about an option that provides several ways of displaying results. What you suggested could be "Best Match" and the the current could be "All"?

@rdnetto try out the branch in PR #5 to see if this matches your use case :) The code needs to be cleaned up but works from what I have tested

rdnetto commented 7 years ago

Awesome, works great! Thanks for that :)
