gh-alias: Set a shell command as a `gh` subcommand.
$ gh alias set --shell ${alias_name} ${command}
try on your machine
This command is used to set an alias for a specific command in your GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) configuration.
The breakdown of the command is as follows:
gh
: Refers to the GitHub CLI.alias
: Specifies that you are setting an alias.set
: Instructs the CLI to set a new alias.--shell
: Specifies the shell in which the alias will be active.${alias_name}
: Represents the name you want to give to your alias. This can be any name you choose.${command}
: Represents the command that you want to create an alias for. This can be any valid command recognized by the GitHub CLI.
By running this command and replacing ${alias_name}
and ${command}
with appropriate values, you can create a shortcut or alias for a frequently used GitHub CLI command, making it easier and quicker to execute in the future.
