Not really a big deal or anything since aliases can be created; however I thought it was cool that these aliases are already setup.
Having first learned with Perl, then went crazy with PHP and now over to Python I can say I’m happy to see that someone at Microsoft made a good decision to establish PowerShell.
Table below is for PowerShell 2, 3, 4 and 5
| CMD Command | UNIX Command | PS Command | PS Alias |
|---|---|---|---|
| dir | ls | Get-ChildItem | gci |
| cls | clear | Clear-Host (function) | N/A |
| del, erase, rmdir | rm | Remove-Item | ri |
| copy | cp | Copy-Item | ci |
| move | mv | Move-Item | mi |
| rename | mv | Rename-Item | rni |
| type | cat | Get-Content | gc |
| cd | cd | Set-Location | sl |
| md | mkdir | New-Item | ni |
| N/A | pushd | Push-Location | N/A |
| N/A | popd | Pop-Location | N/A |

Thanks, would be nice to use some of the PS Aliases in further work. Didn’t used them yet before, but now I will have a look to them to get work faster and scripts smaller
