There’s a zsh plugin for that: https://github.com/djui/alias-tips

https://github.com/djui/alias-tips this is different but I found it quite useful, it will give you shorter version of commands if you have aliases matched the current commands

The best plugin that I've seen recently is alias-tips, which if you run the command and you've got an alias configured for that, it pops up and says, "Hey, don't forget you can type this." So if I'm using Kubernetes and I write Kubectl, apply -f and then the manifest path, it'll say, "Hey, don't forget you can just run K-A-F, and then the path." So that's probably the best plugin that I've seen recently.

TIL about zx! https://github.com/google/zx

This suite of tools feels indispensable. Anything to keep me from having to write/maintain bash scripts that are more than a series of commands.

Great point! According to https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/b433beb016470b87850f3c01..., Bun Shell took inspiration from zx[0], dax[1] and bnx[2]

If you want test it, you can run this script withzx :

I really love writing with zx. https://github.com/google/zx

We have some folks who have gone wild copy-pasting random fancy bash snippets into various developer helpers scripts. Zx did like 90% of that stuff out of the box, without being a pile of chaotic custom bash.

I ended up using this for my cli scripting needs. https://github.com/google/zx
