clojure -X:deps tree :aliases '[:target]'

Thank you

Several of the tools.deps functions understand :aliases

FWIW, this will give you help and docstrings for all those functions:

clojure -X:deps help/doc

nod; I found the doc string, but wasn't understanding it correctly

(...hm; Also have a place where clj -Stree -T:build was being used instead of -A:build)

ends up using clj -Strace -T:build followed by clj -X:deps tree :file "\"trace.edn\"" ; ugly, but it works.
