GH-ALIAS-IMPORT(1)

NAME

gh-alias-import - Import aliases from a YAML file

SYNOPSIS

gh alias import [<filename> | -] [flags]

DESCRIPTION

Import aliases from the contents of a YAML file.

Aliases should be defined as a map in YAML, where the keys represent aliases and the values represent the corresponding expansions. An example file should look like the following:

    bugs: issue list --label=bug
    igrep: '!gh issue list --label="$1" | grep "$2"'
    features: |-
        issue list
        --label=enhancement

Use "-" to read aliases (in YAML format) from standard input.

The output from the gh command "alias list" can be used to produce a YAML file containing your aliases, which you can use to import them from one machine to another. Run "gh help alias list" to learn more.

OPTIONS

--clobber
    Overwrite existing aliases of the same name

EXAMPLE

    # Import aliases from a file
    $ gh alias import aliases.yml
    # Import aliases from standard input
    $ gh alias import -
