+# Postgres plugin
+
+This plugin adds some aliases for useful Postgres commands.
+
+:warning: this plugin works exclusively with Postgres installed via Homebrew on OSX
+because Postgres paths are hardcoded to `/usr/local/var/postgres`.
+
+To use it, add `postgres` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... postgres)
+```
+
+## Aliases
+
+| Alias | Command | Description |
+|-------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
+| startpost | `pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start` | Start postgres server |
+| stoppost | `pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast` | Stop postgres server |
+| restartpost | `stoppost && sleep 1 && startpost` | Restart (calls stop, then start) |
+| reloadpost | `pg_ctl reload -D /usr/local/var/postgres -s` | Reload postgres configuration (some setting require restart)|
+| statuspost | `pg_ctl status -D /usr/local/var/postgres -s` | Check startus of postgres server (running, stopped) |
