How to create an alias with multiple commands that accepts parameters in Cmder?

Question

I would like to know how to create one alias with multiple commands in Cmder, that accepts parameters and injects them into the commands.

Answer 1

To separate commands in a single alias $t would do the trick. To retrieve all the parameters passed to an alias $* would do the trick.

Examples:

• Multiple Commands: alias serveApp=cd "C:\app" $t grunt serve
• Parameters: alias nav=cd $*, usage: nav "C:\app"
• Combination: alias servePath=cd $* $t grunt serve

Didn't understand the Parameter and Combination steps. Could you explain ? – Alexandrite

In the parameters step: the $* will be replaced with the parameter "C:\app", thus forming cd "C:\app". The combination is two commands, first the cd to parameter, and second grunt serve. – Moshe
