PowerShell has aliases for several common commands like echo. Type the following in PowerShell:

Get-Alias echo

to get a response:

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Alias           echo -> Write-Output

Even Get-Alias has an alias gal -> Get-Alias. You could write gal echo to get the alias for echo.

gal echo
