Sad...that's sad to look at. This happens because you are using the alias which is passing install or update to choco.
So what this means is we should either remove all aliases or search for those strings and do replacement. I'm in favor of deprecation of shortcuts.
AMEN! no shortcuts! :)
"chocolatey" might have been a pain to type (and spell) but: "choco" is very nice!
choco install choco update choco update all choco uninstall etc.
Then it's actually much more like 'apt-get'
As a transition phase... the 'cinst' and other aliases could just output to the screen instead:
"Please run choco install instead"
Note that this is the transition phase... it has already begun. :)
choco
is the ubiquitous term. It beat the rest of the possibilities...
To speed up this process, you may want to do a "replace all" on your website.. where each package that displays the big:
c:> cinst chocolatey
to now be:
c:> choco install chocolatey
You even have images on the home page using 'cinst'
The first is not a replace all, it's just a one line change. https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey.org/blob/master/chocolatey/Website/Views/Packages/DisplayPackage.cshtml#L98
The second is a change to an image.
sweet. what are you waiting for? :) (the 1 liner anyway) haha
Remembering that SOFTware should not be HARD.. it is SOFT so be bold. :)
I'm already updating my scripts to use 'choco install'
All choco "alias" commands should accept the typical parameters to request for help, or in the very least, guide the user to type "choco --help" or something.
