NAME

       glab-alias-set - Set an alias.

SYNOPSIS

       glab alias set  '' [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       Declare a word as a command alias that will expand to the specified command(s).

       The  expansion  may  specify  additional  arguments  and  flags.  If  the  expansion  includes positional
       placeholders such as '$1', '$2', etc., any extra arguments that follow the invocation of an alias will be
       inserted appropriately.

       If '--shell' is specified, the alias will be run through a shell interpreter (sh).  This  allows  you  to
       compose commands with "|" or redirect with ">". Note that extra arguments following the alias will not be
       automatically  passed  to  the  expanded  expression.  To  have a shell alias receive arguments, you must
       explicitly accept them using "$1", "$2", etc., or "$@" to accept all of them.

       Platform note: on Windows, shell aliases are executed via "sh" as installed by Git For  Windows.  If  you
       have  installed Git on Windows in some other way, shell aliases may not work for you.  Quotes must always
       be used when defining a command as in the examples.
