Rehashing all that, and because different POV on CLI pops up sometime,
one move should be to have “aliases” [1]; I am sure the idea already
came long time before but I do not find the thread.
My understanding of the situation:
1- specific "guix foo" case: implement something like Alice proposed
2- add a mechanism to have aliases.
Replace ’foo’ by ’environment’, ’graph’, ’search’, ’show’, etc.
Let's expand explanations about the #2.
Now with “guix repl“, the user can extend Guix by their own scripts.
Therefore, it could be nice:
a) to have a location by default (say ~/.config/guix/scripts)
b) to run them with "guix foo" instead of
"guix repl -- ~/.config/guix/scripts/foo.scm".
And then, we are all be happy. ;-)
It eases the tests of new experimental command-line tools, one can locally
change the behaviour of “guix environment --ad-hoc“, one can experiment
with new output formats for “guix search“ instead of ’recutils’, etc..
And using channel as “home-manager” or GWL [2] show, we could even
easily exchange them. Somehow.
Well, the philosophy of custom extensions.
WDYT?
All the best,
simon
