[SOLVED] How to set aliases in Git Bash for Windows?

How to set aliases in Git Bash for Windows?

How to alias commands in Git Bash for Windows downloaded from git-scm?

I mean Bash commands, not Git.

I’m on Windows 7.

Edit:

Writing aliases in .bashrc file (as suggested by @gturri) not adding it in console.(after system reboot)(I have never wrote alias for ls command so it should be some default alias.)

~/etc $ cat .bashrc
alias ll='ls -l'
alias dupa='ls -l'
~/etc $ dupa
bash: dupa: command not found
~/etc $ ll
total 0
~/etc $ alias
alias ll='ls -l'
alias ls='ls -F --color=auto --show-control-chars'

Solution

To configure bash aliases, it's the same as if you were on a Unix platform: put them in a .bashrc in your home:

cd
echo alias ll=\'ls -l\' >> .bashrc

To have this change taken into account you should then either source this file (ie: run source .bashrc) or restart your terminal

(In some cases* you can find equivalent for .bashrc file in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_\etc\profile.d\aliases.sh. And you should add aliases in aliases.sh.)

(*this case is when you install Git for Windows GUI release from https://git-scm.com/download/win that contains GitBash)
