I’m voting to close this question because it may contain personal data – Michael Dorner May 04 '23 at 08:44

IPython is the Python backend to the Jupyter Notebook, which is also known as the kernel, if you want to add an alias to Jupiter you can add an alias to IPython since all commands are executed there:
For more information check this website: IPython Alias to Preload Your Favorite Modules and Activate Autoreload
Also, IPython reads a configuration file in start-up, by editing this file you can define an alias, check this website for more information: Customization configuration file
If the file doesn't exist create one: Introduction to IPython configuration

1Try: alias get all students data = "ipython --InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines="['Your python code']"" I would suggest you change the alias name for a single word command – Mateo Lara Jul 08 '20 at 10:19
