Remove or rename push-candidate command #65
Description
Activity
I don't use
push-candidatebut havingcandidate-pushandpush-cabalwould look a bit funny to me (and triggers my OCD 😂).Rename push-candidate to push-version-candidate? Maybe push/pull-cabal could also be push/pull-revision (matching the existing check-revision).

The
hackage-clicommandpush-candidateis in the way ofpush-cabalwhen tab-completinghackage-cli push<TAB>or evenhackage-cli push-ca<TAB>. Also, I never use it and I do not see what its purpose is when we havecabal upload.I propose to remove it.
Alternatively, one could just move it into a
legacycommand group so that it is only available ashackage-cli legacy push-candidate.Or rename it to
candidate-push.If you are a user of
push-candidate, please leave a comment here how you use this feature and why it is important.@hvr @phadej @gbaz @hesselink @bergmark @endgame @davean @Bodigrim @andreabedini @ulysses4ever @pbrisbin @sjakobi @vaibhavsagar
