Hi,
for Get-ChildItem, we can use the acronym gci. Is it possible to define
some custom acronyms for other commands? select-string is widely used and I
would appreciate a shorter name. The bash shell has a .bashrc folder on Unix
which is read when starting the shell. Does PS have something similar?

Re: select-string substitute
You can use the command-let set-alias.
Take a look at this link
Windows PowerShell Aliases. E.g. gci get-childitem. Also alias for cmd commands
