Do you think we should create --show-headers the new name (alias) for #curl's --include option, to make it easier to remember and know what it does?

github.com/curl/curl/pull/1398…


tool_getparam: make --show-headers the same as --include by bagder · Pull Request #13987 · curl/curl

Simply a name alias that better explains what the option does.

@bsod it could certainly base it on the last part of the dir name... but is that really better?

A big YES 👍🏻. Aliases for options that clearly describe what it does, are great. On my blog and in my scripts I try to use the long-format options, so that people can easily understand what a command does, instead of looking at 5 random flags. Also, aliases may help finding the right option easier as well.
