as the title states, I would like mr status to be --minimal by default, is there a way to change it in .mrconfig?
for now I made a bash alias but thats not very satisfying.
This isn't possible at this time, the mr command-line options are only able to be set on the command-line.
The minimal option is implemented in mr, not in the *_status values that specify commands. It works by supervising the output of the commands and only printing the mr parts of the output when there is command output or errors.
I can see that this idea would definitely be useful to some folks.
I think any implementation of this idea probably should have these features:
allow replacing, prepending, appending and setting the default options like the other value setting mechanisms do, for maximum flexibility in setting up the options
allow setting the options in the DEFAULT section or in any of the repository sections, to allow setting them on a per-repository basis
allow setting the options differently for each command type and each repository type, for maximum flexibility
add options for turning off options (like --no-minimal), so that there is more flexibility about when to turn them on/off
only allow setting a whitelisted set of safe options, so that this doesn't cause any security issues
