How to escape single quote while setting aliases

Question

Want to create an alias of this command

find . -name '*.sh' -exec chmod a+x '{}' \;

and I am not able to escape the single quotes while setting the alias

alias mx='find . -name '*.sh' -exec chmod a+x '{}' \;'

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

You could just use double quotes:

alias mx="find . -name '*.sh' -exec chmod a+x {} \;"

EDIT: Also, the single quotes ' around the {} is not necessary.
