glab(1) glab(1) NAME glab-alias-set - Set an alias for a longer command. SYNOPSIS glab alias set '' [flags] DESCRIPTION Declare a word as an alias for a longer command. Use quotation marks when you define a command, as shown in the examples. Your expansion can include arguments and flags. If your expansion includes positional placeholders such as $1 or $2, any extra arguments that follow the invocation of the alias are inserted into those placeholders. To run an alias through sh, a shell converter, specify the --shell flag. With shell conversion, you can compose commands with | or redirect with >. Shell aliases have these caveats: * Extra arguments that follow the alias are not passed to the expansion. To accept arguments, use $1, $2, and so on. * To accept all arguments, use $@. On Windows, shell aliases run through sh as installed by Git for Windows. If you installed Git in another way on Windows, shell aliases might not work. OPTIONS -s, --shell[=false] Declare an alias to be passed through a shell in- terpreter. OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS -h, --help[=false] Show help for this command. EXAMPLE # Define an alias for "mr view" glab alias set mrv 'mr view' # Run the alias; it expands to "glab mr view -w 123" glab mrv -w 123 # Define an alias with a positional placeholder glab alias set createissue 'issue create --title "$1"' # Run the alias with an argument and an extra flag glab createissue "My Issue" --description "Something is broken." # Define a shell alias that pipes glab output to grep glab alias set --shell igrep 'glab issue list --assignee="$1" | grep $2' # Run the shell alias with two arguments glab igrep user foo SEE ALSO glab-alias(1) Auto generated by spf13/cobra Aug 2026 glab(1)
