NAME

       glab-alias-set - Set an alias.

SYNOPSIS

       glab alias set  '' [flags]

DESCRIPTION

       Declare a word as a command alias that will expand to the specified command(s).

       The  expansion  may  specify  additional  arguments  and  flags. If the expansion includes
       positional placeholders such as '$1', '$2', etc., any  extra  arguments  that  follow  the
       invocation of an alias will be inserted appropriately.

       If  '--shell'  is  specified, the alias will be run through a shell interpreter (sh). This
       allows you to compose commands with "|" or redirect with ">". Note  that  extra  arguments
       following the alias will not be automatically passed to the expanded expression. To have a
       shell alias receive arguments, you must explicitly accept them using "$1", "$2", etc.,  or
       "$@" to accept all of them.

       Platform  note:  on  Windows,  shell aliases are executed via "sh" as installed by Git For
       Windows. If you have installed Git on Windows in some other way,  shell  aliases  may  not
       work for you.  Quotes must always be used when defining a command as in the examples.
