Still won’t help me when I type
ifconfig
ordig
, though.Also I’ve noticed there is also a curl in Windows CLI that I believe is based on libcurl, but when called from powershell is an alias for (iirc)
Invoke-WebRequest
.ifconfig doesn't even work in a lot of Linux distros anymore.

curl
Classic PoweShell experience. Try
rm -rf
- I wonder why they added the aliases in the first place. Only frustrating to type different arguments which are also more verbose. Tastes like the good ol' embrace-extend-extinguish.Fortunately splitting up the arguments works in Powershell sometimes:
rm -r -f
