Permanent aliases in PowerShell with parameters!

In this video we'll go through how to search, add, edit or remove aliases in PowerShell, but also make them permanent by editing the PowerShell profile. We also cover assigning commands with parameters using functions inside the PowerShell profile and assign it to an alias. This will greatly help you quickly run long commands which you need to run often.
#powershell #terminal #windows11 #productivity

Hi @itvraag great video, any comment why this is not working to me, I have into ssh config file <ssh ubu = to server (ubuntu) with key file>
Function ubuup {ssh ubu; sudo apt update && apt upgrade -y}
Set-Alias -Name ubu -Value ubuup
