Settings

By default, all aliases are defined with a g prefix, as you can see above. But some of the default aliases may shadow system commands, like gpt for the GUID partition table maintenance utility.

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

Or you can use the following zstyle if you wish to customize the prefix used to define all aliases:

zstyle ':zim:git' aliases-prefix 'G'
