如何在PowerShell别名中运行多个命令

Question

I'm trying to add an alias to PowerShell in my $profile file.

Set-Alias regrunt grunt;g aa;g cm 'regrunted';g ps;

When I run regrunt , only the first command is run. How can I make this alias run all of the commands?

PS: Please no comments about "do not commit minified files", we have all passed through this.

Answer 1

You can't unfortunately. Aliases in PowerShell can only be for a single command.

You will need to define a function to run multiple commands:

function regrunt {
    grunt;g aa;g cm 'regrunted';g ps;
}

Answer 2

Aliases in PowerShell are designed for a simple renaming of commands. Only one command, no parameters. To do what you want, write a function.

function regrunt {
  grunt
  g aa
  g cm 'regrunted'
  g ps
}
