AvoidGlobalAliases |
Severity Level: Warning
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.
Use other scope modifiers for new aliases.
