Pass an argument to a Git alias command

Question

Can I pass arguments to the alias of a Git command?

I have some alias in Git config, like so:

rb1 = rebase -i HEAD~1
rb2 = rebase -i HEAD~2
rb3 = reb         


        

Answer 1

I wrote this function "grb" to do Git interactive rebase on a Mac, so I can say grb 5 to show my last 5 commits:

function grb {
  git rebase -i HEAD~$1
}

The top answer on this page does not work for me. To see my .bash_profile and all other Git aliases I use on my Mac:
