Create shortcuts for gt commands

## Synopsis

```text
Create shortcuts for gt commands.

An alias expands to a gt command with its arguments before gt runs it: after
gt alias set il "issue list --label bug", gt il --state all runs
gt issue list --label bug --state all. $1, $2 and so on in the expansion take the
arguments in that position; other arguments follow the expansion. Aliases never run a
shell, and built-in commands always win over an alias of the same name.
```

```
gt alias [flags]
```

## Options

```
  -h, --help   help for alias
```
