West unable to disable west command Extensions defined in Zephyr

[solsbarry]

Is your enhancement proposal related to a problem? Please describe.

There does not seem to be a way to disable the west extensions provided by zephyr at scripts/west-commands.yml. Regardless of whether I include west-commands: scripts/west-commands.yml in my west.yml file. They seem to be automatically included.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to disable the west extensions provided by zephyr, so that I could reuse one of the names (flash for example) in my own version of the command. I think the best solution would be if the zephyr west command extensions were only included if you included them via the manifest. But I would also be fine with alternative solutions such as adding something to disable them in either the manifest or the global .westconfig file. If I am wrong and there is a way please let me know. I did not see anything in this page https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/west/extensions.html . It might also be nice if you could disable only specific commands from a west-commands.yml file selectively.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The only alternative for me is not using west to do the activities I need, and using my own script that calls west, or naming my extensions something less intuitive like flash2 instead of flash for example. But I don't need to change flash for all my projects just one, so I would rather keep the same workflow.

A bit of a strange request, but west aliases could be useful here (not yet released). You can override existing commands where you can set the flash command as an alias to a custom command inside your own project.

west config alias.flash myflash
