Replicating bash functions in Windows

Using Win+R to run a command with parameters, similar to bash functions.

mkdir %userprofile%\bin

Add %userprofile%\bin to PATH.

Create %userprofile%\bin\ci.ps1 with a line like this (edited for your needs):

code-insiders --remote ssh-remote+vb /home/slikts/work/$args

Create a shortcut in the same location with this target:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ci.ps1

-NoExit can be added to the arguments for debugging.

Now the Windows Run dialog (opened with Win+R) can be used to quickly start the code-insiders process in a specific sub-directory by entering ci example.
