In this short article, we will show you how to create a Git alias for multiple commands and parameters. In the previous article, we explained you how to set a custom Git command.

Git Alias - Multiple Commands and Parameters

  1. Set multiple commands
  2. Pass parameters in Git alias

1. Set multiple commands

Use the following command to set alias for multiple commands.

[alias]
chs = !git branch && git status

So,

git chs -> git branch && git status

2. Pass parameters in Git alias

To set parameters in Git alias, use the following command.

[alias]
chs = !git checkout $1 && git status && :

If you add `&& :` to the end of your alias, then the spurious argument is consumed into a location tag.

git chs demo -> git checkout demo && git status
