alias¶

New in version 1.0.

rbt alias is used to display any aliases configured by the user or a repository. It can list them or perform a “dry run” that shows what would be executed when running a given alias.

Usage¶

$ rbt alias [options] 

Listing Aliases¶

To list all the aliases defined in .reviewboardrc, use the --list option.

For example:

$ rbt alias --list
[/home/user/.reviewboardrc]
    pt = post HEAD
    ptu = post -u HEAD
    push = !git push && rbt close $1

Simulating an Alias¶

To display the commands that would be run by an alias, use the --dry-run option. This will expand the alias and print the results.

For example:

$ rbt alias --dry-run ptu
rbt post HEAD

If the alias takes any command line arguments, they will be included in the output if provided. For example:

$ rbt alias --dry-run push my-branch
git push && rbt close my-branch

Options¶

--list¶: List all aliases defined in .reviewboardrc files.

--dry-run <alias>¶: Print the command as it would be executed with the given command-line arguments.

-d, --debug¶

Displays debug output.

This information can be valuable when debugging problems running the command.

The default can be set in DEBUG in .reviewboardrc.

--json¶

Output results as JSON data instead of text.

The default can be set in JSON_OUTPUT in .reviewboardrc.
