Cmder#

Environement#

You can set environement variables that are set whenever you work with Cmder.

To set a new environement variable, go to Settings -> Startup -> Environement.

Alias#

Use the alias feature in Cmder to make life easier.

  • Print all aliases: alias

  • Create an alias: alias gl=git log --oneline --all --graph --decorate  $*

Aliases are stored in %CMDER_ROOT%\config\user_aliases.cmd. You can edit the file directly. Then to reload the alias use alias /reload.

Go inside a directory, and run a command in a pipenv environement:

spl-docs-live = cd /d %SPLDIR%\spl-docs $t pipenv run make livehtml
