concurrently is too long, which makes it unfriendly to non-English users and tiresome to type, which discourages potential users.

It simplifies the multiple-entry command &&, but not in the command line name. Let's add a shorthand to simplify it. Use conc shorthand

Thank you @kecrily for your contribution! I like this idea! 👍

ToDo's:

  • Update the docs
  • Verify all things are working with the alias (help output, etc.)

@gustavohenke Do you think we need to adjust something else? Also before merging this we should make sure the chosen alias fits well in the long term. For example, cncr (official abbreviation of "concurrent") would be another possibility, although I think conc is easier to remember. Any other ideas?

I'm on limited computer time for a couple more weeks, so one thing I'd like to know is whether any alias will conflict with other popular/native OS tools.

From what I managed to test, it doesn't seem like a non-dev Mac has either conc or cncr.
It'd be good to know if an alias would conflict with tools on Windows or Linux too.

Also fwiw, concurrently used to have a concurrent alias back before v4:
7383eca

I'll let you decide this one @paescuj 🙂

Thanks for your feedback @gustavohenke!

Let's go with conc as it clearly shows that it belongs to concurrently.

That's a good point!
conc doesn't seem to conflict with other tools neither on Linux (checked with Ubuntu) nor on Windows (checked in PS, cmd & Google) and macOS (terminal, Homebrew). Also couldn't find another module on NPM which provides a command named conc.

Interesting 😄
