feat: add --fields argument to pixi list#5105
Conversation
This adds a new `--fields` argument to the `pixi list` command that allows users to: - Select which columns to display in the output - Control the order in which columns appear Available fields include: name, version, build, build-number, size, kind, source, license, license-family, is-explicit, is-editable, description, md5, sha256, arch, platform, subdir, timestamp, noarch, file-name, and url. The default fields match the current behavior: name, version, build, size, kind, source. Example usage: pixi list --fields name,version,license pixi list --fields name,version,sha256 Closes prefix-dev#5102
- Remove Serialize derive and serde attribute since Field is never serialized - Remove redundant doc comment listing available fields (clap shows them in help) - Regenerate CLI documentation

The Requested is great, and shows actual information: could get long for some matchspecs out there in the wild, but probably more useful than some tree-walking metric which i've frankly never seen anywhere else, certainly not worth the hustle to dig that up if it's not just lying around. Again regarding space/noise: I'm not sure how much value the second decimal place provides, but hardly seems worth doing anything about, and certainly would be relevant for the |

Works great! My humor is probably broken, but I think this is funny:
