[enhancement/suggestion] Command aliases to match standard *NIX commands

[danieldjewell]

I had a thought/suggestion: As it stands now, the commands in linode-cli are functional but, IMHO, are less than intuitive. For example, *nix admins are completely familiar with using commands like ls; cp; rm; mv. I think it would be more user friendly and intuitive to provide aliases (which seems like a good idea instead of flat out modifying the existing command syntax and disrupting users who already have memorized linode-cli commands).

In other words, provide "ls" as an alias for "list" (and so on) so that one could run:

linode-cli linodes ls

Additionally, supporting a form of auto-completion similar to what is present on many routers and switches would also be helpful. In other words, one would only need to type enough of a command so as to make it unique: there are two "L" commands - "linodes" and "longview" ... so "li" and "lo" are enough to infer the meaning. (This is similar to routers and switches where something like sh ip int br is shorthand for show ip interfaces brief.)

The combination of these two things would make it possible to do, for example:

linode-cli li ls

in order to list all linodes. If one then aliases "linode-cli" to something shorter (i.e. alias lc='linode-cli') ... one could shorten this up to a very nice compact command: lc li ls.

Just a thought - Docker already utilizes the ls/rm/cp syntax... And I think some of the Azure CLI stuff does too? Not suggesting that just because others do something that makes it the "best" or "right" way...

to summarize:

• make aliases for core commands like: ls, cp, rm, mv, etc
• autocomplete (linux, macos, windows)
