Are you getting this error every time you are squashing a command?

You should add your command inside double quotes if it contains spaces
sudo squash "diskutil list" --alias=diskking

1. Yes. to be more clear the command does get added and it does work and doesn't throw error when we run the squashed command but creating a new alias causes this.

sudo squash "diskutil list" --alias=diskking

2. Got it.

I just tried it in another laptop. I can reproduce it, looks like some issue in create directory logic.
I will look into this later today.
Thank you for reporting

@arshadkazmi42 Would like to work in this with you if possible. Is there any way this could be possible

from squash.

@co16353sidak Sure.
You can send a PR for this if you like.
The issue is somewhere here

https://github.com/arshadkazmi42/squash/blob/master/lib/file-operations/command-create.js#L12
https://github.com/arshadkazmi42/squash/blob/master/lib/squash.js#L35

Create directory is getting called twice.
We can remove createDirectory from command-create.js file.
as its handled in squash.js
I think this should fix this issue.

Please check.
