Feature Request: Simplified Command for Installing Packages

[alokranjan609]

What's the problem this feature will solve?

The current command pip install [PACKAGE_NAME] is straightforward, but a shorter alternative would improve user experience by reducing the amount of typing required, especially when installing multiple packages in a single session. This feature would be particularly beneficial for developers who frequently use pip to manage dependencies.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a shorthand command pip i that functions identically to pip install. This command should:

-Work as an alias for pip install.
-Be fully compatible with all existing options and arguments that pip install accepts.

Alternative Solutions

We can create a shell alias that maps pip i to pip install. This method is quick, easy, and doesn't require any changes to the pip package.

Additional context

This feature will be helpful in the following ways:
-Streamlined user experience with fewer keystrokes.
-Enhanced productivity for developers by reducing repetitive typing.
-Increased adoption and satisfaction among the pip user community.
