alias VS set-default

[karl-johan-grahn]

$ mike alias main main
$ mike set-default main
error: duplicated version and alias

Is this as expected? Will alias automatically set-default too? Or should set-default be set first, and then alias? Or is set-default redundant if alias is set?

$ mike list
error: duplicated version and alias
$ mike list main
error: duplicated version and alias
$ mike delete main
error: duplicated version and alias

You shouldn't set an alias to itself. That's like having a symlink that points to itself.

It gets you into a loophope where you have to manually update the versions.json on the gh-pages branch. The alias is needed for the version warning https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/setup/setting-up-versioning/#version-warning

Would be worth implementing a check so alias cannot be set to the same as the version.

You shouldn't need to manually update; you can just revert the bad commit. That would be cleaner, and less-likely to produce longer-term issues.
