# aerpa(1)

remove a project alias

## NAME

aegis remove project alias - remove a project alias

## SYNOPSIS

**aegis** **-Remove\_Project\_Alias** \[ *option*... \] *project-alias*\
 **aegis** **-Help**\
 **aegis** **-VERSion**

## DESCRIPTION

The *aegis -Remove\_Project\_Alias* command is used to remove a project alias.

The project alias *must* be given on the command line, the default project is not sufficient.

### Example

Aliases may be used in may ways.  The most common is to give a particular release a code name.  You would do this by saying

`aenpa example.4.2 sydney`

This would make “sydney” an alias for the “example.4.2” branch.

Another use for aliases is to have a fixed alias for your active branch, so that your developer team does not need to change their default project, even though the branch number moves on for each release.  You could say

`aenpa example.4.2 example.cur`

This would make “example.cur” an alias for the “example.4.2” branch. When this was finished, and 4.3 started, a project administrator could say

`aerpa example.cur`\
 `aenpa example.4.3 example.cur`

Now “example.cur” is an alias for the “example.4.3” branch, but the developers need only reference “example.cur” to always work on the right branch.

## OPTIONS

The following options are understood:

- **-Help**

  This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the *aegis* program.

See also [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) for options common to all aegis commands.

All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (\_) are optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the **-Project** option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.

Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the function selectors.\

The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for *aegis* are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "**--***option***=***value*" convention is also understood.

## ERRORS

It is an error if the current user is not a project administrator.\
 It is an error if the given name is not a project alias.

## EXIT STATUS

The *aegis* command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The *aegis* command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

See [*aegis*(1)](/aegis/1.md) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See [*aepconf*(5)](/aepconf/5.md) for the project configuration file's *project\_specific* field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
