alias-finder plugin

This plugin searches the defined aliases and outputs any that match the command inputted. This makes learning new aliases easier.

To use it, add alias-finder to the plugins array of your zshrc file:

plugins=(... alias-finder)

Usage

To see if there is an alias defined for the command, pass it as an argument to alias-finder. This can also run automatically before each command you input - add ZSH_ALIAS_FINDER_AUTOMATIC=true to your zshrc if you want this.

Options

• Use --longer or -l to allow the aliases to be longer than the input (match aliases if they contain the input).
• Use --exact or -e to avoid matching aliases that are shorter than the input.

Examples

$ alias-finder "git pull"
gl='git pull'
g=git

$ alias-finder "web_search google oh my zsh"
google='web_search google'

$ alias-finder "git commit -v"
gc="git commit -v"
g=git

$ alias-finder -e "git commit -v"
gc='git commit -v'

$ alias-finder -l "git commit -v"
gc='git commit -v'
'gc!'='git commit -v --amend'
gca='git commit -v -a'
'gca!'='git commit -v -a --amend'
'gcan!'='git commit -v -a --no-edit --amend'
'gcans!'='git commit -v -a -s --no-edit --amend'
'gcn!'='git commit -v --no-edit --amend'
