Title:
Alias 'browse' to xdg-open
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in xdg-utils source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
The 'sensible-browser' and 'xdg-open' commands are very useful, but
it's a bit unwieldy to use everywhere in docs. How about aliasing to
the simple 'browse', so I can recommend things like:
sudo apt install foo; browse http://locahost:2022/
That would be crisp clean and friendly for current users.
[Test Case]
There is currently no simple 'browse' command.
[Regression Potential]
None. There are no name collisions with /usr/bin/browse in Debian or
Ubuntu.
[ Other Info ]
Although the original request was to alias 'sensible-browser' it was
decided that 'xdg-open' has the more consistent behaviour (in terms of
selecting the correct web browser to use) and also falls back to
'sensible-browser'.
