+
+## Configuration
+
+You can override the default prefix (`sudo`) by setting the `ZSH_SUDO_PLUGIN_PREFIX` environment variable in your `.zshrc`:
+
+```zsh
+export ZSH_SUDO_PLUGIN_PREFIX="doas"
+```
+
+This will make the plugin prefix commands with `doas` instead of `sudo`.
+
+
+**Important:** If you use a custom prefix different from `sudo`, make sure to create an alias named after that prefix pointing to `sudo`, for example:
+
+```zsh
+alias doas='sudo'
+```
+
+This ensures proper command substitution and consistent behavior.
