what if I or someone wrote a bot / script that searches across github for every shell script file that it can find and converts all short options into long options and opens a PR? Think dependabot but lets call it longabot or readabot?
- jmholla 2y agoI don't think you should do that unprompted. There are reasons for using short options like the portability mentioned in other comments. It'd put an undo burden on open source maintainers. Something opt-in like dependabot though could be useful.
