Alias Creation in Windows Using Python

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

One thing I’ve missed in Windows post my switch from Linux is the ability to create aliases for commands.

In Linux, you can create an alias for a command by adding the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file -

This would allow you to use ll instead of ls -l in your terminal.

In Windows, you can create a similar alias by creating a batch file and adding it to your PATH environment variable.

But if you’re like me and want some more control over how you publish your blogs, customize them etc. , you will find this and the other upcoming articles in this category interesting.
