I'm trying to get myself more familiar with mpremote

On my Macs, the "first" serial port that shows up is Bluetooth, e.g.
(turning off BT does not cause that device to disappear)

Is there a way to tell mpremote (via the config file?) what the "default" / "fallback" port should be, so that I can do something like mpremote repl without having to specify a port?

Additionally, is there a way to specify help text for aliases set in the config file? I see the commands themselves are pulled in to the output from mpremote --help but it could be useful to define descriptive text to be shown there as well.

general plea for more educational material on the use of mpremote...

... my goldfish brain now rediscovered that we've actually discussed this same issue on GitHub...

If you want something in the meantime, I wrote a little python script called find_port.py, which you can find here: https://github.com/dhylands/dotfiles/bl ... nd_port.py

If you wrap your call to mpremote up in a bash script you can use find_port.py to find your serial port. Use something like in your bash script where you want the port filled in.
