Description Marius Andreiana 2020-05-26 05:45:36 UTC

In order to save user's time when using dnf from command line often, please provide short alternatives to popular command options, similar to npm package manager:

i install 
up upgrade
r remove
ls list

One could then write
dnf i ruby

which would be the equivalent of

dnf install ruby


Thanks!

Comment 1 Pavla Kratochvilova 2020-05-26 06:03:51 UTC

There already are some command aliases defined, for example:

in install
rm remove
up upgrade
dg downgrade
rq repoquery

It was added in this commit: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/commit/da52d0ee8ec53fc67477a448ef9da73e32ce2cf2

You can also define your own aliases using the alias command.

Thanks Pavla, that's great! I searched but didn't find these in dnf help.

Would be great to add 'ls' too.

I made PR to add these aliases at least into documentation: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1629
