I believe that aliases must be supported by your shell rather than terminal. E.g. mentioned .bashrc belong to bash (shell) but not terminal. And you may use bash with ConEmu too. – Maximus – 2013-02-23T14:19:51.087

Yes your are right. Sorry for this. Actually I am on window. Can you please help me out how to create this on window cmd (which I now think will be used by conemu). – Vivek Kumar – 2013-02-23T14:36:22.303

If powershell is an option, you can define aliases in your profile file – kb_sou – 2013-02-23T17:04:50.817

In latest ConEmu builds there is an Environment settings page. You may set there environment variables and aliases for cmd.exe. One line set one alias. Example:

alias cdd=cd /d $1

Old answer

You may use doskey for creating aliases. Next example supposed your installation folder is C:\Program Files\ConEmu) and your shell is cmd.exe.

Create following batch file C:\Program Files\ConEmu\ConEmu\aliases.cmd:

@echo off
doskey /EXENAME=cmd.exe cdd=cd /d $1

Start your shell in ConEmu as followed (for example, Settings -> Startup -> Command line):

cmd /k "%ConEmuBaseDir%\aliases.cmd"

Now you may type in prompt something like this

cdd D:\AnyFolder

I would suggest to use cmd /k "%userprofile%\.conemu\cmdinit.cmd", to stick with lastest version of conemu and keep your files on your side. See doc and default file

I believe using Environment page is much more handy nowadays. – Maximus – 2015-09-03T09:58:21.077

You could use TCC/LE with ConEmu. It's a free cmd.exe replacement and, unlike Powershell, is backward compatible. You can use the ALIAS command to create and manage aliases and TCSTART to do a similar thing .bashrc does.

For reference purpose...

Multiple arguments: $*
