alias

Create short-hand commands for longer or frequently used commands.

Note

Yantra Launcher aliases are retained even after restarting the launcher session, unlike the aliases in usual or conventional shells (1).

1. In this context usual or conventional shells refer to shells like Bash, Zsh, CMD, Powershell, etc. Yantra is unusual in this regard because of its unique features for aliases, which is persistency.

Note

Pre-defined commands can not be aliased.
