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. Your expansion might include arguments and flags. If your expansion in- cludes 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 ex- panded 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 exam- ples. OPTIONS -s, --shell[=false] Declare an alias to be passed through a shell interpreter. OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS -h, --help[=false] Show help for this command. EXAMPLE $ 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" SEE ALSO glab-alias(1) Auto generated by spf13/cobra Nov 2025 glab(1)
