Just a funny thought I had because of a typo I keep making repeatedly, when I build my first guess is to run

pants build <target>

but even though this is called

pantsbuild

there's actually no

pants build

but

pants package

Just thought this was funny

You can create an alias in pants.toml so that build = package 🙂 (search the docs for alias, I haven’t used it much so I don’t recall the syntax off the top of my head)

Oh I'll just adapt to the CLI over time, can always bash alias if we have too

# pants.toml
[cli.alias]
build = "package"

😉

I think we actually discussed this at one point and concluded that "build" was too vague a word to be a goal. It's all "build" in some sense...

I'll still stick to adapting to the CLI, good to know about aliases within the pants build system though. Just a funny observation
