How to get help and find aliases of commands in Windows Powershell?
A command in Powershell can have one or many alias. An alias is the command but in a shorter and mostly abbreviated form. Some aliases are made to match bash commands.
Get-ChildItem

alyas: ls, dir
Get-Alias
Sa pagpangita sa alyas sa usa ka sugo sa Powershell sa paggamit sa Get-Alias sugo.
Pananglitan, find all the aliases start with r
get-alias r*
Ang Get-Alias sugo sa iyang kaugalingon adunay usa ka alyas gal. The following will do the same thing as above…
gal r*
Get-Alias usab gets ang bug-os nga sugo sa usa ka alyas
gal ls
Outputs: ls -> Get-ChildItem
We can also find all the aliases of the specified command with the -Definition parameter. Pananglitan, let’s find all the aliases of the Get-ChildItem sugo. We use -d which is short for -Definition
gal -d get-childitem
Outputs
dir -> Get-ChildItem gci -> Get-ChildItem ls -> Get-ChildItem
Get-Command finds the commands by command name. Get-Command has the alias gcm. So we can do this…
Get cmdlets sugod sa get
gcm -c cmdlet get*
ibabaw mao ang sama nga sama sa….
Get-Command -CommandType Cmdlet Get*
To get help on any of the aliases or commands, just type help in front of the command. Pananglitan…
help cp
