Creating aliases in PowerShell for git commands?

You will have to create a function first, that has your command in it. Then create an alias to that function.

PS C:\Users\jpogran\code\git\scripts> function get-gitstatus { git status }PS C:\Users\jpogran\code\git\scripts> get-gitstatus# On branch masternothing to commit (working directory clean)PS C:\Users\jpogran\code\git\scripts> Set-Alias -Name gs -Value get-gitstatusPS C:\Users\jpogran\code\git\scripts> gs# On branch masternothing to commit (working directory clean)

You might also be interested in the OS project called posh-git that aims to provide a powershell environment for git commands. Wraps git commands with PS type functions and also provides a new prompt that shows the status and branch in your prompt.

EDIT: Forgot to add how to find out how to do this using Powershell.

PS C:\Users\jpogran\code\git\scripts> get-help set-alias -examples

This will show you examples (the last one applies here) of how to use set-alias to create aliases to commands with paramaters, pipelines, etc.

Just created some shortcuts for myself and wanted to share:

Create a PowerShell profile (if you don't already have one):

New-Item -Type file -Path $PROFILE -Force

Open it to edit:

notepad $PROFILE

Add the following functions and aliases:

function Get-GitStatus { & git status $args }New-Alias -Name s -Value Get-GitStatusfunction Set-GitCommit { & git commit -am $args }New-Alias -Name c -Value Set-GitCommit

When you restart your PowerShell session, you should be able to pass arguments to the aliases as well. e.g.:

c "This is a commit message"

Update:

Here are some more of my frequently-used shortcuts:

function Get-GitStatus { & git status -sb $args }New-Alias -Name s -Value Get-GitStatus -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitCommit { & git commit -ev $args }New-Alias -Name c -Value Get-GitCommit -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitAdd { & git add --all $args }New-Alias -Name ga -Value Get-GitAdd -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitTree { & git log --graph --oneline --decorate $args }New-Alias -Name t -Value Get-GitTree -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitPush { & git push $args }New-Alias -Name gps -Value Get-GitPush -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitPull { & git pull $args }New-Alias -Name gpl -Value Get-GitPull -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitFetch { & git fetch $args }New-Alias -Name f -Value Get-GitFetch -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitCheckout { & git checkout $args }New-Alias -Name co -Value Get-GitCheckout -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitBranch { & git branch $args }New-Alias -Name b -Value Get-GitBranch -Force -Option AllScopefunction Get-GitRemote { & git remote -v $args }New-Alias -Name r -Value Get-GitRemote -Force -Option AllScope

I don't know PowerShell, but you can setup aliases directly in Git.
