Shadows

The following aliases may shadow system commands:

• gs shadows Ghostscript.

If you frequently use the above commands, you may wish to remove said aliases from this module or to disable them at the bottom of the zshrc with unalias.

You can temporarily bypass an alias by prefixing it with a backward slash: \gpt.
