alias

This command allows you to define shortcuts for other common commands. By default, they only apply to the current session. To persist them, add them to your config.

Syntax: alias <name> = <body>

The command expects two parameters:

  • The name of the alias
  • The body of the alias

Examples

Define a custom myecho command as an alias:

> alias myecho = echo
> myecho "hello world"
hello world

The suggested help command works!

> myecho -h

Usage:
  > myecho {flags}

flags:
  -h, --help: Display this help message
