Add short option parameters to aws s3 commands #9972
Description
Describe the feature
Add short option parameters to the object-based aws s3 commands as aliases to the long option parameters.
In addition, short option combining (ie -rsn is equivalent to -r -s -n) needs to be verified as working.
I don't use auto-complete because I need to minimise shell start-up time. I don't use auto-prompt mode as it is much slower than entering the arguments in fully for me.
Use Case
This will reduce the friction when typing these commands many times in the command line.
Proposed Solution
| alias | existing | commands |
|---|---|---|
-r |
--recursive |
cp, ls, mv, rm |
-H 1 |
--human-readable |
ls |
-s |
--summarize |
ls |
-n |
--dryrun |
cp, mv, rm, sync |
Aliases that I think are optional:
| alias | existing | commands |
|---|---|---|
-q |
--quiet |
cp, mv, rm |
-i |
--include |
cp, mv, rm |
-e |
--exclude |
cp, mv, rm |
I think all other parameters don't need short aliases.
