I'd like to propose that we shorten the name of our CLI. codeedit-cli is to long of a command to type into a terminal in my opinion.

VS Code uses code
GitHub uses gh
IntelliJ IDEA uses idea
Fleet used fleet
Atom uses atom
Sublime Text uses subl
Nova uses nova
WebStorm uses webstorm

But CodeEdit uses codeedit-cli.

None of these end with -cli, so why would/should we? I am not opposed to it, I just want to be consistent with what others might expect if possible. It looks like others just use the app name unless too long to type. codeedit is the same amount of characters as webstorm so I think it is safe to use.

Some other options we can consider in addition to codeedit are cedit and ce.

Using cli or ctl and the end is not unheard of. My opinion is to leave it as is. If you want something else make and alias.

Thanks for your comments. I understand, however I’d say that it’s not all about being unheard of. Length is also a big consideration. codeedit by itself is already pretty long for a CLI tool. codeedit-cli is too long as most commands are around 2-8 characters. If we can help it, I’d rather shorten it because of this.

Since #21 the executable is now named codeedit
