Alias Arguments Not Being Recognized

[Chase Kolozsy]

Describe the bug

The following is in my .zshrc file:

alias tn="(){tmux new -s $1}"
alias gc="(){git commit -m $1}"

NOTE: all the other aliases that do not have parameters work
NOTE: source .zshrc has been executed in terminal

Outputs for alias commands in terminal:

chasekolozsy@Chases-MacBook-Pro ~ % tn Test
command new-session: -s expects an argument
chasekolozsy@Chases-MacBook-Pro ~ % gc "test commit"
error: switch `m' requires a value
chasekolozsy@Chases-MacBook-Pro ~ %

Steps to reproduce

install ohmyzsh using the curl command
brew install tmux
install git

add the following aliases to the .zshrc file:

alias tn="(){tmux new -s $1}"
alias gc="(){git commit -m $1}"

execute in terminal:
source .zshrc

execute in terminal:

tn Test

gc "test commit"

Expected behavior

tmux should run a new session called Test for tn Test
git should create a commit with commit message "test commit"

Hi! I recommend you define those aliases as alias tn="tmux new -s" and alias gc="git commit -m". You can pass arguments to regular aliases as if they were commands!

Note: both aliases already exist in the tmux and git plugins, respectively. tn alias will directly work if you enable tmux plugin and gcmsg do exactly what you want!
