aliasy

aliasy is a small zsh helper for managing aliases from your shell session while keeping alias definitions persistent on disk.

What it does

• Lists the aliases currently available in your zsh session.
• Adds new aliases and saves them to a persistent store.
• Removes and renames saved aliases.
• Reloads aliases from the store when you start a new shell.

By default, aliasy stores persistent aliases in ~/.aliasy_store.zsh.

Installation

1. Clone this repo somewhere on your machine.
2. Source aliasy.zsh from your ~/.zshrc:

source "/Users/adam/Desktop/Programming/shell/aliasy/aliasy.zsh"

3. Reload your shell:

source ~/.zshrc

Homebrew

You can also install it through Homebrew from this repository as a tap:

brew tap adamzafir/aliasy https://github.com/adamzafir/aliasy
brew install --HEAD adamzafir/aliasy/aliasy

Then source the installed file from your ~/.zshrc:

source "$(brew --prefix)/share/aliasy/aliasy.zsh"

Usage

aliasy help
aliasy list
aliasy add gs 'git status'
aliasy remove gs
aliasy rename gs gst
aliasy reload

Example

aliasy add ll 'ls -lah'
aliasy list

That adds ll to the current shell and writes it to the persistent alias store so it comes back in future sessions.
