glab-alias-set - Man Page

glab alias set  '' [flags]

Declare a word as an alias for a longer command.

Your expansion might include arguments and flags. If your expansion includes positional placeholders such as '$1' or '$2', any extra arguments that follow the invocation of an alias are inserted appropriately.

Specify '--shell' in your alias to run it through 'sh', a shell converter. Shell conversion enables you to compose commands with "|" or redirect with ">", with these caveats:

• Any extra arguments following the alias are not passed to the expanded expression arguments by default.
• You must explicitly accept the arguments using '$1', '$2', and so on.
• Use '$@' to accept all arguments.

For Windows users only:

• On Windows, shell aliases are executed with 'sh' as installed by Git For Windows. If you installed Git in some other way in Windows, shell aliases might not work for you.
• Always use quotation marks when defining a command, as in the examples.

-s, --shell[=false] Declare an alias to be passed through a shell interpreter.

--help[=false] Show help for this command.
