# alias-finder plugin
This plugin searches the defined aliases and outputs any that match the command inputted. This makes learning new aliases easier.
## Setup
To use it, add `alias-finder` to the `plugins` array of your zshrc file:
```
plugins=(... alias-finder)
```
To enable it for every single command, set zstyle in your `~/.zshrc`.
If the user has installed `rg`([ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep)), it will be used because it's faster. Otherwise, it will use the `grep` command.
```zsh
# ~/.zshrc
zstyle ':omz:plugins:alias-finder' autoload yes # disabled by default
zstyle ':omz:plugins:alias-finder' longer yes # disabled by default
zstyle ':omz:plugins:alias-finder' exact yes # disabled by default
zstyle ':omz:plugins:alias-finder' cheaper yes # disabled by default
```
As you can see, options are also available with zstyle.
## Usage
When you execute a command alias finder will look at your defined aliases and suggest shorter aliases you could have used, for example:
Running the un-aliased `git status` command:
```sh
╭─tim@fox ~/repo/gitopolis ‹main›
╰─$ git status
gst='git status' # <=== shorter suggestion from alias-finder
On branch main
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/main'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
```
Running a shorter `git st` alias from `.gitconfig` that it suggested :
```sh
╭─tim@fox ~/repo/gitopolis ‹main›
╰─$ git st
gs='git st' # <=== shorter suggestion from alias-finder
## main...origin/main
```
Running the shortest `gs` shell alias that it found:
```sh
╭─tim@fox ~/repo/gitopolis ‹main›
╰─$ gs
# <=== no suggestions alias-finder because this is the shortest
## main...origin/main
```
### Options
> In order to clarify, let's say `alias a=abc` has source 'abc' and destination 'a'.
- Use `--longer` or `-l` to include aliases where the source is longer than the input (in other words, the source could contain the whole input).
- Use `--exact` or `-e` to avoid aliases where the source is shorter than the input (in other words, the source must be the same with the input).
- Use `--cheaper` or `-c` to avoid aliases where the destination is longer than the input (in other words, the destination must be the shorter than the input).
