ZSH Aliases Collection

#zsh #alias #collection #utility

Everyone has their own aliases and set them according to their preferences.
Here I've tried to make a big collection and will update it on a regular basis. Aliases related to Docker etc are yet to be added.

Here are the various aliases that I use on a regular basis. Some of them are my own and others are collected from somewhere else.

It's a pretty big collection, some might not have any explanation tho.
