This title does not describe what the doc is about (default behavior of what ? Any doc about extending a part of Symfony could use this title)

When building a command line tool, you may need to customize it to fit your needs.
Probably you want to change the Default Command that the Application runs or

Will add it 👍

By default the Application will always run the ListCommand. In order to change
the default command you just need to pass the command name you want to run by

I'm also not sure if the bang comment is used before in the docs, if not I prefer to remove it for consistency.

I copied it from the official documentation, more specific the introduction part of the Console Component

you should remove this file comment, it's symfony specific and that's not something we do in the component docs.

This is also Symfony specific, use something like Acme\DemoLib\Command\GreetCommand

I kept the same logic that exists in the introduction documentation for the component, but I can change it. Let me know what will work better for it!

I think we should not use Bundle in the components. Maybe just "Acme\Demo" (without Lib)

I do agree, since components are separated from the Framework. But that would change all documentation for each component

use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;

$command = new GreetCommand();

Where does it come from? When I read this document, I might not know about this command described in another part of the documentation. And anyway, this command won't work as a default command, which cannot have any argument... which is a "limitation" that should be explained in this doc.

$application = new Application();
$application->add($command);
$application->setDefaultCommand($command->getName());
$application->run()

Test the new console command by running the following

.. code-block:: bash

That won't work as we are talking about replacing the default command, when there are no argument.


This will print the following to the command line:

.. code-block:: text

I think this should stay in a separate page, as it is a totally separate feature than changing the default command

Actually, I think the best solution is to keep it in its original location. It may be referenced from the page about changing the default command, to wanT than changing the default is not the best way if you only want 1 command, but it should not be in the same page IMO. It makes it harder to find the feature

+1, and it would also solve the redirect_map problem I think :)

When building a command line tool, you may not need to provide several commands.
In such case, having to pass the command name each time is tedious. Fortunately,
