The alias command makes Multipass create a persistent alias to run commands on a given instance. Its syntax is the following:
multipass alias instance:command [name]
If name is omitted, the alias name defaults to command.
After running this, a new alias is defined as running the command on the given instance. By default, in the case the host folder on which executing an alias is mounted on the instance, the working directory on the instance is changed to the mounted directory. This behavior can be avoided when defining the alias with the parameter --no-map-working-directory.
