Equivalent of *Nix ‘which’ command in PowerShell?

The very first alias I made once I started customizing my profile in PowerShell was ‘which’.

New-Alias which get-command

To add this to your profile, type this:

"`nNew-Alias which get-command" | add-content $profile

The `n at the start of the last line is to ensure it will start as a new line.
