+# 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'
+```
