I’ve reviewed this today, as part of working on #9475, and this looks good to me! I don’t think factoring out common options is particularly useful; and any additional information/explanations should likely end up in one of the dedicated pages we’re building for the concepts as part of #9475.
@brainwane sure!
The issue says that a lot of options described for
pip downloadcan be refactored with options withpip wheelorpip install.However, when a person would go to the
pip download’s documentation, s/he would look for all the available options. So, shouldn’t these options be available for each command’s doc individually?Apart from that, if you’d compare, the documentation of
pip wheelandpip install, there are options between them which exist for each documentation page separately. To list a few of them ---no-clean,--pre,--build, etc.So, what I feel that current documentation for
pip downloadlooks good to me(after looking for other command’s doc).
