mw gitlab alias set

mw gitlab alias set <alias name> '<command>' [flags]

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

Declare an alias to be passed through a shell interpreter.

Global options

-h, --help

Show help for this command.

--no-interaction

Do not ask any interactive questions

--profile <string>

Saved account profile (login defaults to the verified username)

-v, --verbose <count>

Increase output verbosity. Example: --verbose=2 or -vv

Examples

$ 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"
