Setting An Alis

An Alias is essentially a named convention that has been added to the system by using a conglomeration of different command inputs. For instance, you could make a command called getIP and set it equal to the grep results of the ipconfig command. To begin we will use the following command.

Set-Alias -name ifconfig -value ipconfig

The command above creates an alias with the name of ifconfig. ifconfig is then set to the function of ipconfig. ipconfig as a command shows you your devices IP configurations. That means that if you type in ifconfig into powershell it will now print out the network information related to your device. See below for an example in practice.
