Composer is not a CLI tool that is used by humans very often unlike grep
or ls
, etc
Composer is primarily designed to work as part of CI or other scripts
me and @ming13 had an agreement to put full option names everywhere in scripts so you don't have to read docs, that was reflected in Composer, Swarmer and other tools :)
Ie can you tell what -i
means in grep -i
? :D
--ignore-case
is much more obvious right :)
Well, it actually can be called by humans from CLI, too. At least I'm using it sometimes and I strongly believe I am) So sure I wrote some aliases to ease composer using. But it would be so muuuuuuuch easier to have the short args, too...

Beginner's mistake :trollface:
My point is - let users decide on their own how to write arguments)
Yeah, but then coming up with single letter arg names is really hard and we'll start getting conflicts, I'm not opposed as long as we keep full names hehe
I think that'll make it easier for people to understand what options are doing and how to customize them :)
