Which project is this feature idea for?

Turborepo

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I'm using --filter all the time during development to install/build/test packages in my monorepo but I'm starting to lose my mind having to type out --filter all the time.

Could I humbly request a shorthand of -f is added so I may retain some of my remaining sanity?

Describe the solution you'd like

-f === --filter

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi @danawoodman, unfortunately making -f the shorthand for --filter would be a little confusing, as we also have the --force flag and we've noticed that generally -f corresponds to force, like in rm or git. I can certainly commiserate with the extra typing, but perhaps there's some combination of shell history or aliases that could make your life easier? Please don't jump off a bridge!

I get the argument, but -f doesn't exist right? So if the docs say -f for filter then is it unclear?

Or what about another flag like -t for filTer

I can't imagine I'm the only one with this annoyance?

I do use shell history but with the variety of calls that only helps so much.

On second thought, -F might be a reasonable option. I'll reopen this and discuss with the turbo team.
