A Zsh plugin that reminds you of available shell and Git aliases as you type commands.
alias-tips is a Zsh plugin that helps users remember and use their shell and Git aliases by displaying tips when a matching alias exists for a typed command. It solves the problem of forgetting custom shortcuts, making command-line workflows more efficient. The plugin integrates seamlessly with popular Zsh frameworks like Oh My Zsh, Fig, and others.
Zsh users who have defined numerous shell or Git aliases and want to improve their recall and usage, particularly developers and system administrators working frequently in the terminal.
It provides a non-intrusive, real-time reminder system that reduces cognitive load, encourages consistent alias usage, and is highly configurable to fit individual workflows without requiring manual lookup of aliases.

Detects matching shell and Git aliases in real-time using Zsh's preexec, providing tips only when relevant to reduce cognitive load.
Offers environment variables to control output text, exclude aliases, and enable features like force usage or command expansion for tailored workflows.
Integrates seamlessly with Oh My Zsh, Fig, zplug, and others, ensuring easy adoption across different Zsh setups without major configuration.
Features like force mode abort commands to encourage consistent alias use, reinforcing good habits and standardizing team practices.
Explicitly does not support suffix or global aliases, and multiline aliases are only partially handled, limiting functionality for advanced users.
Relies on Zsh's preexec feature, making it incompatible with other shells like Bash without significant, unsupported workarounds.
Adds processing to every command execution for alias lookup, which might introduce minor delays in terminal responsiveness for heavy users.
