winget install Nidzoki.win-alias

scoop bucket add nidzoki https://github.com/Nidzoki/scoop-bucket
scoop install alias

go install github.com/Nidzoki/win-alias/cmd/win-alias@latest

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

Add or update an alias:

alias gs="git status"

List active aliases:

alias

Remove an alias:

To disable persistence:

alias --disable
