How to set eza alias in powershell

[harshv5094]

I Don't know how to set eza alias in powershell. Can someone tell me how I can set alias in pwsh

I believe you have to create a profile.ps1 in your home directory, if one does not already exist, and then you can simply add

New-Alias -Name ls -Value eza --icons etc...

You can run New-Alias right in powershell too, but it will not persist across sessions I dont believe

That will not work since Set-Alias does not support parameters directly.
on your $PROFILE file, add a function to invoke eza as you want and then add the aliases you want.
for example:

function Invoke-Eza {
  param (
      [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]
      [string[]]$Args
  )
  eza --icons=always @Args
}

Set-Alias ls Invoke-Eza

As mentioned, you will have to place this code into your profile if you want to persist it for later sessions.
Tested on pwsh 7.4

or New-Alias -Name ls -Value Invoke-Eza -Force -Option AllScope instead of Set-Alias
