alias in CMD

1 min read

windows snippets

  1. Create a file called alias.cmd in the user folder (i.e. %USERPROFILE\alias.cmd) or where ever you feel suited. This will be like your ~/.bash_alias on your linux machine.

  2. Add your alias into the script using the doskey command

@echo off
 
:: Commands
DOSKEY ls=dir /B $*
DOSKEY ll=dir /a $*
DOSKEY git-secret=wsl git-secret $*
DOSKEY gs=wsl git-secret $*

Note: $* is used to allow taking arguments

  1. Register it to be applied automatically whenever cmd.exe is executed
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%"USERPROFILE"%\alias.cmd" /f
  1. Restart cmd for the changes to take effect To unregister:
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor" /v AutoRun

However this will remove all added scripts.
