cli

Options for configuring CLI behavior, such as command line aliases.

Backend:
Config section: [cli]

Basic options

`alias`

--cli-alias="{'key1': val1, 'key2': val2, ...}"
PANTS_CLI_ALIAS

default: {}

Example:

[cli.alias]
green = "fmt lint check"
all-changed = "--changed-since=HEAD --changed-dependees=transitive"

This would allow you to run ./pants green all-changed, which is shorthand for ./pants fmt lint check --changed-since=HEAD --changed-dependees=transitive.

Notice: this option must be placed in a config file (e.g. pants.toml or pantsrc) to have any effect.
