Get-MyAlias

SYNOPSIS

Get non-default aliases defined in the current session.

SYNTAX

Get-MyAlias [-NoModule] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Often you might define aliases for functions and scripts you use often. It may difficult sometimes to remember them all or to find them in the default Get-Alias output. This command will list all currently defined aliases that are not part of the initial PowerShell state.

The PSScriptTools module also includes a custom formatting file for alias objects which you can use with Get-Alias or Get-MyAlias. See examples.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Get-MyAlias

CommandType     Name                                 Version    Source

Alias           bv -> Brave

Alias           cmo -> Compare-Module                2.27.0     PSScriptTools
...

Get all aliases that aren't par of the initial session state. This will include aliases defined in any modules you have loaded.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-MyAlias -NoModule

CommandType     Name                             Version    Source
-----------     ----                             -------    ------
Alias           abt -> Get-AboutInfo
Alias           bv -> Brave
Alias           cl -> Create-List

Get defined aliases that don't belong to a module. These should be aliases you have defined in stand-alone scripts or your profile.

Example 3

PS C:\> Get-MyAlias -NoModule | Format-Table -View options

Name Definition    Options  ModuleName Version
---- ----------    -------  ---------- -------
abt  Get-AboutInfo None
