Why not just use your shell's aliasing mechanism? For example, in a
Bourne compatible shell you could place this in your .shrc file:
alias cip='fossil ci --private'
Not everyone uses Unix.
Are there Windows shells supporting aliases, outside of
'mingw/bash' ?
Standard Windows Console has aliases. Type DOSKEY /? for
documentation. The suggested alias would be defined by saying:
DOSKEY cip=fossil ci --private $*
Ideally you'd do this sort of thing in a batch file that you
arrange to invoke when your command prompt launches. My project
specific command-prompt shortcuts all at minimum specify a
starting folder, and often use CMD /K C:\...\CUSTOMERSTART.BAT
as the command line so that the specific batch file is run before
CMD shows its first interactive prompt.
That said, I can see utility for customizing aliases within fossil
itself, so that CIP isn't now a general command but fossil cip does
what the OP wanted. I'm not sure how generally useful this is given
the strength of *nix and Windows aliases and shell scripts, however.
