To create an alias for grep and to exclude svn directory (currently no questions cover this) on bash env I did:
$ function gp grep -rnIi --exclude-dir='.svn';
However,
I get error
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
How do I go about this?
bash alias bashrc subversion

Kusalananda showed you how to define agpfunction, but he didn’t explicitly identify the error in your attempt, which is thatmust be followed by a space (or a newline).

It’s better to use"$@", as Kusalananda suggested. It automatically expands to all the arguments that are passed to the function (i.e.,$1 $2 $3 $4 …), so you can run it on many files / directories at once, and it quotes them, so your pattern and filenames can have spaces and special characters.
