@dlandi thanks for reporting this. Do you have any idea on what the help display should look like, if aliases were reported?
Sure. Given:
config.AddCommand<InstallCloudCommand>("install-cloud")
.WithDescription("Install Cloud API from Zip File")
.WithAlias("cloud").WithAlias("cld");
config.AddCommand<InitializeAccountCommand>("init-account")
.WithDescription("Initialize Account DB from Powershell Script File")
WithAlias("account").WithAlias("adb");
config.AddCommand<InitializeCloudDb>("init-cloud-db")
.WithDescription("Initialize Cloud Database from Powershell Script File")
.WithAlias("cloud-db").WithAlias("cdb");
Output would be :
Command Alias[es] Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
install-cloud [cloud|cld] Install Cloud API from Zip File
init-account [account|adb] Initialize Account DB from Powershell Script File
init-cloud-db [cloud-db|cdb] Initialize Cloud Database from Powershell Script File
Since the commands' section does not have headers, this would look like:
COMMANDS:
dog <AGE> some-dog, a-dog The dog command
giraffe <LENGTH> The giraffe command
horse some-horse, a-horse The horse command
or
COMMANDS:
dog <AGE> [some-dog|a-dog] The dog command
giraffe <LENGTH> The giraffe command
horse [some-horse|a-horse] The horse command
I feel adding a cell "aliases" to the commands' section would take away too much space (which is sometimes very limited in CLI).
What about adding it to the description? Something like:
COMMANDS:
dog <AGE> The dog command
Aliases: some-dog, a-dog
giraffe <LENGTH> The giraffe command
horse The horse command
Aliases: some-hosre, a-horse
@patriksvensson, @phil-scott-78: Any ideas or opinions?
Hi there. I'd like to do it. What do you think about this layout?
COMMANDS:
build-something [build|b] Builds something
no-alias Some description
create [c] Creates something
What about adding it to the description? Something like:
COMMANDS: dog <AGE> The dog command Aliases: some-dog, a-dog giraffe <LENGTH> The giraffe command horse The horse command Aliases: some-hosre, a-horse
@patriksvensson, @phil-scott-78: Any ideas or opinions?
Did anything happen with this? I like the approach of putting the aliases under the description, as that makes the best use of space, IMO.

Example: config.AddCommand("install-cloud")
.WithAlias("cloud").WithAlias("cld");
//config.AddCommand("cloud");
//config.AddCommand("cld");
If you use config.AddCommand(), each command shows up in help display, but the WithAlias() option does not.
