feat(init)!: allow turning off aliases for libs and plugins (#11550)
BREAKING CHANGE: the previous zstyle setting to disable `lib/directories.zsh` aliases has been changed to the new syntax: `zstyle ':omz:lib:directories' aliases no`. See https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#skip-aliases to see other ways you can use this setting. Co-authored-by: Carlo Sala <carlosalag@protonmail.com>

-```zsh
+If you want to skip default Oh My Zsh aliases (those defined in `lib/*` files) or plugin aliases,
+you can use the settings below in your `~/.zshrc` file, **before Oh My Zsh is loaded**. Note that
+there are many different ways to skip aliases, depending on your needs.
+
+```sh
+# Skip all aliases, in lib files and enabled plugins
+zstyle ':omz:*' aliases no
+
+# Skip all aliases in lib files
+zstyle ':omz:lib:*' aliases no
+# Skip only aliases defined in the directories.zsh lib file
+zstyle ':omz:lib:directories' aliases no
+
+# Skip all plugin aliases
+zstyle ':omz:plugins:*' aliases no
+# Skip only the aliases from the git plugin
+zstyle ':omz:plugins:git' aliases no
+```
+
+You can combine these in other ways taking into account that more specific scopes takes precedence:
+
+```sh
+# Skip all plugin aliases, except for the git plugin
+zstyle ':omz:plugins:*' aliases no
+zstyle ':omz:plugins:git' aliases yes
+```
+
+A previous version of this feature was using the setting below, which has been removed:
+
+```sh
zstyle ':omz:directories' aliases no
```
+Instead, you can now use the following:
+
+```sh
+zstyle ':omz:lib:directories' aliases no
+```
+
+#### Notice <!-- omit in toc -->
+
+> This feature is currently in a testing phase and it may be subject to change in the future.
+> It is also not currently compatible with plugin managers such as zpm or zinit, which don't
+> source the init script (`oh-my-zsh.sh`) where this feature is implemented in.
+
+> It is also not currently aware of "aliases" that are defined as functions. Example of such
+> are `gccd`, `ggf`, or `ggl` functions from the git plugin.

## Getting Updates
By default, you will be prompted to check for updates every 2 weeks. You can choose other update modes by adding a line to your `~/.zshrc` file, **before Oh My Zsh is loaded**:
