Electron-builder: Shorter name of executable `electron-builder`

Created on 12 Jun 2017  ·  10Comments  ·  Source: electron-userland/electron-builder

Why we need executable name electron-builder? Because create-react-app also has build task and it leads to confusion. Now you can use electron-builder instead of build. Name is too long? Yes — maybe soon elb will be added as alias, feel free suggest your variants.

Of course, build will be not removed due backward compatibility :)

Do you like elb? Please vote using reactions 👍 or 👎 and if you don't like, please explain / suggest your variant.

elb is a common acronym used with AWS, which could confuse the situation? ebuild?

I think electron-builder is fine

ebuild?

Thanks, @brandonhilkert https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ebuild

@develar ah...probably always something then. Maybe it's not worth shortening. The trade-off doesn't seem worth the potential confusion. I vote keep it electron-builder.

I think electron-builder is fine as well. Other plugins like electron-windows-store, etc. use the full name and it's clear what's going on.

Especially if someone is using a lot of plugins and commands in their process, using the full name adds a lot of clarity.

electron-builder is alright. There is no need to have it any other way.

+1 for electron-builder

+2½ for full name

Thanks to all. Short named bin will be not added.
