No. While there is an error produced when one uses an = sign and doesn't follow command format, this is expected behavior.
Solution
Background
In the .ally file, and indeed in a .zshrc, an alias is declared with an = sign. For example, to alias git commit -m to gm, the .ally file would say:
alias gm='git commit -m'
However, that's not how ally works, but it is how calling alias from the command line works. So if you wanted to add this in ally, you would have to say: ally add gm 'git commit -m'. However, if you try to add it with an equals:
> ally add gm='git commit -m'
Error: Missing expected argument '<command>'
Help: <command> The long-form command to be aliased to `alias`.
Usage: ally add [--no-reload] [--no-output] <alias> <command>
See 'ally add --help' for more information.
Support Equals Signs!
So, we need to support this equals syntax. The way to do this is to take the input to add as one command, and then parse it based on whether it contains an equals sign.
