Feature Proposal: Add A Subcommand, "Start" #6461

Open JimLynchCodes opened 3 years ago

Hi!

I like this problem a lot, but I find myself and my colleagues are constantly forgetting whether the correct syntax is:

git flow feature start foo

or

git flow start feature foo

The first is the correct syntax, but because the way you would say it out loud or type it out with regular "git checkout" syntax, people are telling me that the second is arguably more intuitive (not sure why they are telling me, but they are!)

So then I thought, "wow, wouldn't it be great if you could do either syntax, git flow would know what you meant, and it would all just work as expected..."

And so that is the inspiration for the "start" subcommand.

It doesn't have any new, special functionality- just in a way aliasing "git flow start feature" with the same behavior as "git flow feature start".

If any of the authors or other users have feelings about this please comment here.

thanks!
