Is it possible to alias multiple goals?

[kdowney-talos]

Let's say I want to create a goal called "pre-commit" that always runs

• fmt
• lint
• check
• test

on the whole monorepo. Is the only way to do this to create a plugin, or is there a way to do it in a top-level BUILD file? I read through the docs, and while I can see there's a generic target there does not appear to be a generic goal.

In a Makefile this would be a .PHONY rule.

You can do this with command-line aliases.
E.g.,

[cli.alias]
pre-commit = "fmt lint check test ::"

And then

$ pants pre-commit

Is the same as

$ pants fmt lint check test ::

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!
