Isn't it md and mkdir is just an alias in Powershell to accommodate Linux users?

Every command that isn't fully expanded PowerShell commands is an alias. dir and ls are both aliases for Get-ChildItem.

Yeah posh has lot of aliases by default to make it more "friendly". mkdir is just new-item -type directory or whatever.

Also curl is just alias for invoke-webrequest and works nothing like curl

MD and MKDIR are ancient DOS commands.
