aegis -Remove_Project_Alias(1)

NAME

aegis remove project alias - remove a project alias

SYNOPSIS

aegis -Remove_Project_Alias [ option...  ] project-alias
aegis -Help
aegis -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

The aegis -Remove_Project_Alias command is used to remove a project alias.

The project alias must be given on the command line, the default project is not sufficient.

Example

Aliases may be used in may ways. The most common is to give a particular release a code name. You would do this by saying

aenpa example.4.2 sydney

This would make "sydney" an alias for the "example.4.2" branch.

Another use for aliases is to have a fixed alias for your active
branch, so that your developer team does not need to change their
default project, even though the branch number moves on for each
release. You could say

aenpa example.4.2 example.cur

This would make "example.cur" an alias for the "example.4.2" branch.
When this was finished, and 4.3 started, a project administrator could say

aerpa example.cur
aenpa example.4.3 example.cur

Now "example.cur" is an alias for the "example.4.3" branch, but the
developers need only reference "example.cur" to always work on the
right branch.

OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

-Help

This option may be used to obtain more information about how
to use the aegis program.

See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.

All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are
optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or
lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the -Project option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.

Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on
the command line, after the function selectors.

The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for aegis are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "--option=value" convention is also understood.

ERRORS

It is an error if the current user is not a project administrator.
It is an error if the given name is not a project alias.

EXIT STATUS

The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aegis command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's project_specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
