# glab alias ## Argument boundaries Arguments supplied to an alias are passed through without reconstructing them as a shell-joined string. Keep each intended argument quoted at the calling shell; quoted whitespace and special characters remain part of that argument. Explicit shell aliases still execute shell code and require review before use. ## Overview ``` Create, list, and delete aliases. USAGE glab alias [command] [--flags] COMMANDS delete <alias name> [--flags] Delete an alias. list [--flags] List the available aliases. set <alias name> '<command>' [--flags] Set an alias for a longer command. FLAGS -h --help Show help for this command. ``` ## Quick start ```bash glab alias --help glab alias list ``` `glab alias list` wraps long rows instead of truncating expansions at a fixed column width, so the complete stored command remains visible. Treat shell aliases as executable code and review the full expansion before running an unfamiliar alias. ## Subcommands See [references/commands.md](references/commands.md) for full `--help` output.
