Syntax


Description
The Set-Alias cmdlet creates or changes an alias (alternate name) for a cmdlet or for a command element, such as a 
function, a script, a file, or other executable. You can also use Set-Alias to reassign a current alias to a new co
mmand, or to change any of the properties of an alias, such as its description. Unless you add the alias to the Win
dows PowerShell profile, the changes to an alias are lost when you exit the session or close Windows PowerShell.
