Import aliases about shgit HOT 10 CLOSED

I like the approach of shgit as a much lighter-weight tool that focuses on the main task: the prompt and providing top-level commands. We don't need a Makefile, we don't need opinionated aliases, and it's great to optimize for syscalls for better Windows support. Having my own aliases available is still important to me, though.

Yup, this will be supported, in fact, already is. It seems that I didn't push the corresponding commits here to github. Doing this in a minute.

As of 2e51aff, should work now.

Thanks. I'm now seeing:

...
Reading color escapes from git...
bash: ./shgit.sh: line 122: syntax error near unexpected token `git'
bash: ./shgit.sh: line 122: `git diff --ours '

Could my do alias be a problem?

from shgit.

After removing that for loop, aliases work for me, but the color in the prompt is gone. Leaving the issue open for now.

from shgit.

I see now, the shell mistakes the do as an alias. Maybe use \do ? (OTOH, it's probably not too bright to alias a shell keyword...)

from shgit.

Yeah, this is a bit of a conundrum: I don't want to constrain the user in what kind of aliases can be used, but at the same time, as you correctly pointed out, this clashes a bit with the shell in general. Maybe there's an elegant way out of this. Thinking.

from shgit.

I think we can avoid setting aliases that are one of ! case coproc do done elif else esac fi for function if in select then until while { } time [[ ]], with a warning. The alias is still available with e.g. git do, but not as a top-level alias.

(Also, a "quiet" where initialization info isn't shown would be great.)

from shgit.

That is a good idea, and tentatively implemented with 308c7ed

from shgit.

Thanks for looking into it!
