Hello all, I wan to create an alias of this command:
alias dockps = "docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}""
The syntax for creating an alias is:
alias $COMMAND = "docker ps --format "table {{.ID}}\t{{.Names}}\t{{.Status}}\t{{.Ports}}""
However, since there are quote marks, I assume they neet to be escaped with \
. But in the case above, I’m getting the errors in fish and bash.
Fish error: `$ alias dockps = “docker ps --format "table {{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}"”
alias: expected <= 2 arguments; got 3`
Bash error:
$ alias dockps = "docker ps --format \"table {{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}\"" bash: alias: dockps: not found bash: alias: =: not found bash: alias: docker ps --format "table {{.ID}} {{.Names}} {{.Status}} {{.Ports}}": not found
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you (and all others who replied), this worked flawlessly :-)
