It is possible to add aliases for the VSCode terminal. In my case I'm using Git Bash. Here's how to do that:

• 1. In settings.json (Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)) add the following:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
      "Git Bash": {
      "source": "Git Bash",
      "args": ["--login", "-i"]
    }
  }

• 2. Find aliases.sh and open it using VSCode. In my case it is in "C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d\"

• 3. Add your aliases. Here are some of mine:

alias d="nr dev"
alias b="nr build"
alias p="nr preview"
alias pu="nr publish"
alias r="nr release"

These use ni .

• 4. Save the file. You will get a notification that you need to save it as an administrator so click that button to save the file.

• 5. Close the terminal and spawn a new instance. You should be able to use your new aliases. Success!
