A ZSH plugin that reminds you to use existing aliases when you type a command that has one defined. It detects regular, global, and git aliases and displays a hint before or after command execution.
Use cases
- remind me to use my shell aliases
- stop typing full commands when an alias exists
- detect when I forget to use git aliases
- learn my own zsh aliases through hints
- show alias suggestions in the terminal
When to choose
- you use zsh and have many aliases you forget to use
- you want zero-config alias reminders in your terminal
- you want git and global alias detection too
When to avoid
- you use bash or fish instead of zsh
- you find reminder messages distracting
- you need alias management or creation, not just reminders
