cmdlet Aliases are generating new md files.

[dotps1]

cmdlets that have aliases are generating duplicate markdown files. I think rather then the cmdlet generating mulitpule files based on the name, it would be nice to have an aliases section with all the cmdlet aliases listed there. or perhaps a hybrid. Just so its easy to associate aliases to cmdlets.

Oh, good catch. Yes, makes perfect sense. For now, we should just exclude aliases from generation.

[vors]

What's a good place to put it in schema?

[dotps1]

hmmm, if there is a way to associate them i like it right after the syntax and before the description.

[vors]

How about

@vors Is this done Sergei?

[vors]

@sankethka no

[jongeller]

@sankethka I cannot repro to first half of this bug. I've tried with an entire Module and a single cmdlets and MAML, there is no generation of MD files for the alias. Is there specific repro steps?

I will now work on getting the MD to generate an alias section. @vors anything I should be considerate of while doing this?

[jongeller]

Splitting this out. This bug will only pertain to ensuring that Aliases do not generate a new cmdlet MD file.
A new issue will be created on the roadmap to support Aliases in the MD.

[jongeller]

could not repo, closing. The adding of aliases to markdown is in issue #128

[vors]

Added test for it in 25a85ab

@dotps1 please, reopen an issue, if you know the repro that leads to such behavior.
We could not figure it out.
