Do command aliases not appear in the help by design?

[lppedd]

Example:

override fun aliases(): Map<String, List<String>> =
  mapOf(
    "ul" to listOf("update-licenses"),
  )

In that case I'd expect ul to be shown beside update-licenses.
Otherwise how does a user know there is an alias available?

Although, I think the aliases design might have to change to accomodate this use case.

You're right that aliases aren't part of the data passed to the help formatter, so there isn't currently any way to include them in the help automatically. I'm even convinced that adding them automatically is a good idea, since they can be defined dynamically e.g. the way git aliases work.

I would suggest manually adding the info you want to your command's help or its epilog.
