Description
Related problem
With an extern completion for git commit:
module completions {
export extern "git commit" [
-a
-m: string
]
}
use completions *
I want to make a fixup commit that I will git rebase -i into the proper location on my branch.
nushell complains that "Batches of short flags can't take arguments."
❯ git commit -amf
Error: nu::parser::short_flag_arg_cant_take_arg (link)
× Batches of short flags can't take arguments.
╭─[entry #441:1:1]
1 │ git commit -amf
· ┬
· ╰── short flag batches can't take args
╰────
But ^git allows this:
❯ ^git commit -amf
[drbrain/some-branch abcdef01] f
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
Describe the solution you'd like
When a short flag is in trailing position it accepts arguments as git does, or sort(1) does:
❯ echo "a 2\nb 1" | ^sort -hk2
b 1
a 2
❯ echo "a 2\nb 1" | ^sort -hk1
a 2
b 1
Describe alternatives you've considered
I can work around this by adding a space between m and my message ("f")
