AvoidGlobalAliases
Severity Level: Warning
Description
Globally scoped aliases override existing aliases within the sessions with matching names. This name collision can cause difficult to debug issues for consumers of modules and scripts.
To understand more about scoping, see Get-Help about_Scopes.
NOTE This rule is not available in PowerShell version 3 or 4 because it uses the
StaticParameterBinder.BindCommand API.
How
Use other scope modifiers for new aliases.
Example
Wrong
New-Alias -Name Name -Value Value -Scope Global
Correct
New-Alias -Name Name1 -Value Value
