## Usage
When you execute a command alias finder will look at your defined aliases and suggest shorter aliases you could have used, for example:
Running the un-aliased `git status` command:
```sh
╭─tim@fox ~/repo/gitopolis main
╰─$ git status
gst='git status' # <=== shorter suggestion from alias-finder
On branch main
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/main'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
```
Running a shorter `git st` alias from `.gitconfig` that it suggested :
```sh
╭─tim@fox ~/repo/gitopolis main
╰─$ git st
gs='git st' # <=== shorter suggestion from alias-finder
## main...origin/main
```
Running the shortest `gs` shell alias that it found:
```sh
╭─tim@fox ~/repo/gitopolis main
╰─$ gs
# <=== no suggestions alias-finder because this is the shortest
## main...origin/main
```
