NAME

       glab-alias-set - Set an alias for a longer command.

SYNOPSIS

       glab alias set  '' [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

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

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

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

EXAMPLE

       $ glab alias set mrv 'mr view'
       $ glab mrv -w 123
       # glab mr view -w 123

       $ glab alias set createissue 'glab create issue --title "$1"'
       $ glab createissue "My Issue" --description "Something is broken."
       # => glab create issue --title "My Issue" --description "Something is broken."

       $ glab alias set --shell igrep 'glab issue list --assignee="$1" | grep $2'
       $ glab igrep user foo
       # glab issue list --assignee="user" | grep "foo"
