Windows Aliases

It can be very useful to build aliases quickly for windows hosts. This can be done effectively with a CMD/BAT file

Example

This executes a command and if there are parameters passed to the command then they are added to the command

C:\Users\msn\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps>more azrg.bat
@echo off
set "command=az resource list --query "[].{name:name, type:type, resourceGroup:resourceGroup, location:location}""

set "args=%*"

if defined args (
    set "command=%command% %args%"
)

%command%

Placement

Theses CMD/BAT files need to be within the search path. Typically I place them in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
