feat(cli): add command and group aliases - #26
Merged
Conversation
Adds an Aliases(...) CmdOption so a command or group answers to alternate names. Aliases are matched during routing and completion traversal but are hidden from help listings and completion suggestions; a command's own --help shows an "Aliases:" line. Useful for keeping old command names working after a rename.
