mal - a small zsh function to easily manage aliases.

No more:

$ vim ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc

To edit your aliases.

mal <alias_name> <command>

mal -c

mal -r

mal -d

mal -l

mal -e

mal -rn <old_alias_name> <new_alias_name>

mal -cc <alias_name> <new_command>

mal -dn <alias_name>

• zsh
• fzf

mal depends on zsh (it's a zsh function), but you could probably easily port it to bash or other shells.
It also depends on fzf, which is a fuzzy finder over lists, which enables the easy management of the aliases.

To install copy the mal function into your zsh config (I have mine in a folder containing all other zsh functions).
Make sure to source the function in your config.
Then create a file called .aliases.
Make save an envoirement variable $ALIASES_FILE, which is a path to the .aliases file.
Restart the terminal and try it out!
