Currently abra doesn't have the same argument sequence for adding and removing a server (also applies to init etc.). I suggest using the same sequence for every command, thus changing:


  abra [options] server add <host> [<user>] [<port>]
  abra [options] server <host> rm

to:

  abra [options] server add <host> [<user>] [<port>]
  abra [options] server rm <host>

it's more intuitive that way. Here's a list of commands that I propose to change:
recipe:
- release
- versions
server:
- rm
- init
- apps
app:
- possibly move to the end in all abra app commands, making it for instance: abra app restore (<service>|--all) <app>

Interesting!

I think the intention is that the <cmd> (e.g. rm) would come at the end so it is convenient to run other commands, you'd just have to backspace a little bit. But then the <host> positioning having different order, that is true.

@3wordchant curious on your thoughts.

Unsure but I see where you're going with this. 🤔

Then we could change the abra server add positioning! You're more likely to do a few operations on the same host/app than to do the same operation on a few different hosts/apps. On the other hand, if you want to add a couple of hosts it makes more sense to have the host as the last argument. Uhh, I'm at a loss here.

Consider reimplementing abra in $x language (not Bash) #102

I am planning something like this with the go port I am doing of abra. Had some discussions with some Autonomic members to think about some solutions
