aliases

Summary

aliases loads a plugin with Zsh’s aliases mechanism enabled. It is required for plugins that both define and use aliases within their own scripts.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice aliases
zi light user/plugin-using-own-aliases

Details

By default, Zinit loads plugins with ALIASES option unset in certain contexts, which means a plugin that defines an alias in line 1 and invokes it in line 2 may fail. The aliases ice sets the option so aliases are expanded during plugin loading.

aliases is a flag ice — it takes no value. It is only needed for plugins that actively depend on alias expansion during their own initialization.

Examples

zi ice aliases
zi light user/plugin-that-defines-and-uses-aliases
