To replace a string in a git alias, you will need to edit the alias in your git configuration file. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your git configuration file by running the following command in your terminal:
1
git config --global --edit


  1. Find the alias that you want to edit. It will be under the [alias] section, and will look something like this:
1
2
[alias]
    aliasname = command


  1. Modify the alias command to replace the string you want. For example, if you want to replace the string "old" with "new" in the alias command, you can do something like this:
1
aliasname = !sh -c 'git command | sed 's/old/new/g'


  1. Save the changes and exit the git configuration file.


Now, when you run the alias command, it will replace the specified string with the new one.
