Hi all,
I’m scripting a lot of fly
commands and I’m curious when the official move, if ever, will be from flyctl
to fly
usage. The docs occasionally have both.
I think I read somewhere this was the case, but maybe it’s completely imagined.

Quoting the README from the GitHub repo:
Note: Most installations of
flyctl
also aliasflyctl
tofly
as a command name and this will become the default name in the future. During the transition, note that where you seeflyctl
as a command it can be replaced withfly
.
We’ll keep an alias to flyctl
at the very least. So you’re safe to use either form.
I guess I’m wondering when the official switch will happen. That is, when fly
is not the alias, but rather the main one.
Right now, nix’s fly package is flyctl
but should be updated to fly
once the switch is made.

Ah! So we vaguely plan to make that change but we haven’t scheduled it yet. We may not ever rename the binary, just changing our docs to use the fly
alias might be enough.
