I work with languages often and I have to change them via an export command for my tests to read them, so I want to set up a simple alias to run a change on them quickly, I have:

alias country="export COUNTRY="$1""

alias locale="export LOCALE="$1""

basically, I want to enter in bash to set the country like so, and have it perform the command that I normally type which is export COUNTRY=GB, and export LOCALE=en-GB:

country GB

locale en-GB

Aliases don't take positional parameters, write a function and then alias the function. – David C. Rankin Feb 12 '20 at 23:25

...or don't use an alias at all, and *just* write a function. – Charles Duffy Feb 12 '20 at 23:25
