You Should Use

A fish plugin that reminds you to use your aliases.

You Should Use is a rewrite of You Should Use for fish.

Installation

Using fisher:

fisher install paysonwallach/fish-you-should-use

Usage

Simply install and get back to whatever you were doing before! You Should Use will let you know when you've typed out a command that exists as an alias.

Configuration

By default, You Should Use will display its reminder message after a command has executed. However, you can choose to display the mesasge before execution by setting YSU__MESSAGE_POSITION like so:

set YSU_MESSAGE_POSITION "before"

fish-you-should-use's Issues

Command being misinterpreted

I have this alias: alias addall="git add ."

Running

git add .gitignore bot.py

produced:

​Found existing alias for "git add .".
You should use: "addall"```

set YSU_MESSAGE_POSITION "before" does nothing

Setting YSU_MESSAGE_POSITION to "before" in my config.fish

set YSU_MESSAGE_POSITION "before"

does not output the message before the command is executed

[Feature Idea] Support abbreviation

I heavily use fish abbreviations, which this plugin doesn't currently support. It would be cool if it did.

Prints sugguestion for cd alias when it shouldn't

I have these aliases in my config.fish:

alias ..="cd .."
alias ...="cd ../.."
alias .3="cd ../../.."
alias .4="cd ../../../.."
alias .5="cd ../../../../.."

When I run cd Documents, it outputs

Found existing alias for "cd ..".
You should use: ".."

I do not believe this to be expected behavior
