To configure an alias in a similar way to Windows PowerShell, use: Set-Alias rm Remove-ItemPowerShell alias resolution takes precedence over native commands, so once you define You can then make this persistent across sessions by adding the command to your PowerShell profile. |

I wasn't asking how to manually recreate the Windows configuration. PowerShell used to have the same base aliases on all platforms. I want to a way to re-engage that off-Windows. |

PowerShell on Linux can't be the same as when used on Windows. You always have to remember that it's a completely different OS, be aware of the applications that cause the shell to crash, know what won't work, and be aware of what's unavailable. It's a wonderful scripting language, but there are nuances. |

When I choose to use Powershell on Linux or MacOS, I want the experience to be as similar to that on Windows as possible, starting with command-line golf operations. For my usage scenarios, I really don't care about the edge-cases. I want "rm -rec -for" to work whatever platform I'm on.
One reason for this is that I need myself and my users to be comfortable shelling with PowerShell in order to increase onboarding to people who [edit] would potentially write actual formal Powershell scripts.
Despite 90% of our users being on Mac, 52% of our script contributions continue to be bash/zsh from Mac/Linux users, 45% powershell from our Windows users, and only 3% powershell from Mac users.
Is there some preferred/well-documented/ideal way to turn off the native shell-command surfacing on lin/mac? Is there a switch or setting somewhere that re-enables the aliases we had back in 6.x or 7.x whatever it was?
