Note: This will install as win-alias. You may want to rename it to alias in your GOPATH/bin.

Manual Installation

  1. Open CMD as Administrator.
  2. Run install.bat. This builds win-alias.exe and installs it with the alias.cmd wrapper in C:\Windows.

Usage

Persistence

By default, aliases are only available in the current session. To make them persist across all new CMD windows:

Installed alias.cmd activates new and changed aliases in the current CMD session. New CMD windows load aliases through AutoRun.

To disable persistence:

alias --disable
