Windows Powershell

​There’s another PowerShell command that we can use to look at one of our aliases that ​we’ve been using ls or list directory. ​To see what the actual PowerShell command is that gets executed, ​we can use the PowerShell command, Get-Alias. ​Interesting, when we call ls, we’re actually calling the PowerShell command, ​Get-ChildItem It gets or lists the children which are the files and ​subdirectories of the given item.

 ​Let’s actually run this Get-ChildItem command with the item C backslash. ​You’ll see this is the same output as ls C backslash ​ Aliases for common commands are a great way to work more quickly in PowerShell. ​We’ve been using them up to this point to help us hit the ground running with ​the command line.
