What it does

from the PowerShell reference, CC BY 4.0

Gets the aliases for the current session. The Get-Alias cmdlet gets the aliases in the current session. This includes built-in aliases, aliases that you have set or imported, and aliases that you have added to your PowerShell profile. By default, Get-Alias takes an alias and returns the command name. When you use the Definition parameter, Get-Alias takes a command name and returns its aliases. Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, Get-Alias displays non-hyphenated alias names in an <alias> -> <definition> format to make it even easier to find the information that you need.
