Research direction

Start by locating the CLI option declarations for --repository and --distribution, then inspect the command help and existing CLI tests. Done means the requested short aliases, including --repo and --distro, are accepted wherever their long forms are supported and covered by tests.

Description

feature request

Maybe I am lazy but it would be nice to have aliases such as --repo for --repository and --distro for --distribution. It feels painful to have to keep typing out 'repository', 'distribution', etc.
