#1897 assigned defect

CLI: add a way to change an existing alias without directly editing the aliases file — at Version 1

Reported by: davidsarah Owned by: daira
Priority: normal Milestone: soon
Component: code-frontend-cli Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: cli tahoe-add-alias usability Cc: vu3rdd
Launchpad Bug:

Description (last modified by daira)

tahoe add-alias fails if the alias already exists, and so cannot be used to change an existing alias entry. There should be a command or option to do that (say, tahoe add-alias --replace or tahoe replace-alias), and the tahoe add-alias error message should say what it is.

There is also no command to delete an alias.

Ramakrishnan ran into this problem; I had to tell him to edit the aliases file to remove an alias.
