shopt not found in win-bash

Question

I'm trying to use win-bash in order to get a script to run on both mac and windows but shopt seems to be missing. I'm trying to run

shopt -s expand_aliases

Is there any way to do this in win-bash?

Answer 1

win-bash doesn't have an equivalent of expand_aliases; thus, one cannot use aliases when the shell is not interactive.

You could use functions, e. g.

function name { command $* }

instead of

alias name=command
