pytest --collect-only needs a one char shortcut command

See original GitHub issue

I find myself needing to run --collect-only very often and that cli argument is a very long to type one.

I do think that it would be great to allocate a character for it, not sure which one yet. Please use up/down thumbs to vote if you would find it useful or not and eventually proposing which char should be used.

Clearly this is a change very easy to implement but first I want to see if others would find it useful or not.

Just out of curiosity: Why? (i.e. what’s your use case?)

+0 for --co.

But in general you can easily also have an alias “alias pco=‘pytest --collect-only’” - (or “alias pco='p --collect-only” if you have a shortcut for pytest already… 😃)

I like --co, and it doesn’t seem to be used by any plugins as far as I can search:
