Command List

help

If you want to get a help for some command - you've got two options: abf help <command> and abf <command> -h/--help

alias

Manage aliases for console client. With aliases you can make your frequently used commands shorter.

For example, you are going to work only with packages for rosa2012., you have to checkout to this branch after every "abf get" (or use -b rosa2012.1). But you can just add an alias like "g: get -b rosa2012.1" and after that "abf g" will do it automatically.

Moreover, the alias name can be not only the first abf argument. For example, you can create another useful alias like "pack: rosa2012.1 build_branch -p" and run "abf copy pack" to copy contents of rosa2012.1 branch to build_branch and compress it.

list

List all the currently available aliases. By default this list looks like

        b: build
       sp: search projects
       su: search users
       st: status
        s: store
      spl: search platforms
       sg: search groups

add

Add a new alias. the first argument is an alias name, all the arguments after that are alias target. For example, abf alias add sg search groups will срфтпу every call of "abf sg rosa" to "abf search groups rosa".

remove

Remove an alias. The only option is an alias name.

get
