Two word alias in zsh

Question

It's easy to do a one word alias in ZSH.

alias ll='ls -lah'

Is there a way to do two word aliases with Zsh, so that both words are parsed as part of the same alias? I'd mostly like to use it for typo fixes.

alias 'gits t'='git st'

Answer 1

Try this:

alias func='gits t'
func() {
    'gits t'='git st'
}

Answer 2

The same as in plain bash:

$ cd
$ vim .zshrc

...
tg() {
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        echo "Use correct second argument: apply/destroy/plan/etc"
    else
        if [ "$1" = "0all" ]; then
            terragrunt destroy -auto-approve && terragrunt apply -auto-approve
        elif [ "$1" = "0apply" ]; then
            terragrunt apply -auto-approve
        elif [ "$1" = "0destroy" ]; then
            terragrunt destroy -auto-approve
        else
            terragrunt "$@"
        fi
    fi
}
...

Don't forget to reread file:

$ source .zshrc

And after use e.g.:

$ tg 0apply
