feat: add shorthand `conc` #358

Closed kecrily closed 2 years ago

kecrily commented 2 years ago

concurrently is too long, which makes it unfriendly to non-English users and tiresome to type, which discourages potential users.

It simplifies the multiple-entry command &&, but not in the command line name. Let's add a shorthand to simplify it. Use conc shorthand

@kecrily Would you like to work on the ToDo's mentioned above?

kecrily commented 2 years ago

I have updated the documentation and verified it.

@gustavohenke Do you think we need to adjust something else? Also before merging this we should make sure the chosen alias fits well in the long term. For example, cncr (official abbreviation of "concurrent") would be another possibility, although I think conc is easier to remember. Any other ideas?

paescuj commented 2 years ago

Thanks for your feedback @gustavohenke!

Let's go with conc as it clearly shows that it belongs to concurrently.

I'm on limited computer time for a couple more weeks, so one thing I'd like to know is whether any alias will conflict with other popular/native OS tools.

That's a good point! conc doesn't seem to conflict with other tools neither on Linux (checked with Ubuntu) nor on Windows (checked in PS, cmd & Google) and macOS (terminal, Homebrew). Also couldn't find another module on NPM which provides a command named conc.

Also fwiw, concurrently used to have a concurrent alias back before v4: 7383eca

Interesting 😄
