The aliases command shows the aliases defined for all the instances. Its basic usage consists in invoking the command with multipass aliases.
$ multipass aliases
Alias Instance Command Working directory
lsrm rewarded-merlin ls default
topfp flying-pig top map
The column Working directory tells us on which directory of the host the alias will be executed. The value default means that the alias will be executed in the instance default working directory (normally, /home/ubuntu). The value map means that, in case the host directory from which the user calls the alias is mounted on the instance, the alias will be executed on the mounted directory on the instance. The value will be default only if the --no-map-working-directory argument is present at alias creation.
The command can be used in conjunction with --format or -f to specify the desired output format (csv, json, table or yaml).
The full multipass help aliases output explains the available options:
$ multipass help aliases
Usage: multipass aliases [options]

Options:
-h, --help Displays help on commandline options
-v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity. Repeat the 'v' in the short
option for more detail. Maximum verbosity is obtained with
4 (or more) v's, i.e. -vvvv.
--format <format> Output list in the requested format. Valid formats are:
table (default), json, csv and yaml. The output working
directory states whether the alias runs in the instance's
default directory or the alias running directory should try
to be mapped to a mounted one.
