Add short flag counterparts

Neved4 opened this issue · 2 comments

Short flags enhance brevity and conciseness.
Currently, some options lack equivalent short flags to invoke them:

  • -w, --warmup
  • -m, --min-runs
  • -M, --max-runs
  • -r, --runs
  • -s, --setup
  • -p, --prepare
  • -c, --cleanup
  • -P, --parameter-scan
  • -D, --parameter-step-size
  • -L, --parameter-list
  • -S, --shell
  • -N, (alias for '--shell=none')
  • -i, --ignore-failure
  • -l, --style
  • -t, --sort
  • -u, --time-unit
  • -d, --show-output
  • -O, --output
  • -I, --input
  • -n, --command-name
  • -h, --help
  • -V, --version
Since --export variants lend themselves to further discussion they are tracked in #691

Missing short options in the CLI are not a matter of neglect. They were left out because those options were not considered to be used frequently. Out of the ones listed, only --show-output is something that I personally use frequently. What do others think?
