From 3f0cdfa87907096ed7c6caa33fbf360e0e19844c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonatan Holmgren Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 22:57:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] help: use list_aliases() for alias listing help.c has its own get_alias() config callback that duplicates the parsing logic in alias.c. Consolidate by teaching list_aliases() to also store the alias values (via the string_list util field), then use it in list_all_cmds_help_aliases() instead of the private callback. This preserves the existing error checking for value-less alias definitions by checking in alias.c rather than help.c. No functional change intended.
