And you are unjustified in ranting here for a single sentence about how you're "not into fixing up the precious integrity of my precious that you're ruining by submitting PRs". It's seriously demotivating.
I'll consider only doing my rants via pithy one-liners in the future.
instead of editing a simple text file that anyone can understand with zero knowledge of the specifics.
Untrue, or are you suggesting I either understood or now currently understand where and why to use a "1" or a "*" in your previous recommendation "with zero knowledge of the specifics"?
Yes and that's why I helped you out with a simple answer to the question how to do it.
How do you propose I test the changes, what makes you think I have zsh installed at all, much less configured to initialize completions (however that is done)?
Seriously, look at that completion. I'm confident you have the technical competence to add a new option that simply works and it's a review here after all.
Its a part of the toolkit to the same degree as man pages are. We are also not wanting to soften up the integrity of man pages just because a contributor never touched man pages.
Man pages are prose, not code, so I expect that to be a lot easier. And if someone submits a man page update with incorrect asciidoc formatting, then 99% of the patch would still be correct and I'd be happy as a project maintainer to fix the rest.
This is assuming that the formatting issues aren't of the variety that causes "make all" to fail. It's not hard to update *prose* when there's a Makefile target to prove it works, and when every user is expected to know how to run "man".
This is quite aside for the fact that most devtools programs don't have manpages at all, so it's a non-issue.
Yep very happy you did the patches but it would be awesome of a frequent contributor to also do the simple completion thingies. If it's something unjustified complex that would be fine by me, but it's literally someone so simple anyone can easily comprehend. I would prefer helping contributors to get to a point where doing man pages and completions is just part of a PR. Please for the sake of the project let's just get over this debate and get a copy paste line for the new option into the completion file. I'm confident you will do it properly in under 10 seconds, I know you well enough to be able to judge that it's a zero brainer for you. Cheers and happy to include your series, anthraxx
