You're talking about plugins for oh-my-zsh, right, not for zsh itself?

I honestly find all these aliases way harder to remember than the commands themselves.

Yeah right! for oh-my-zsh. I've updated the information to be more specific.

I used to have the same problem once I started using it I forgot the long command way. The problem is when I use another computer without the plugin 😅. That's why I also added the complete command.

Believe me. It will save lots of time when you have to work with others in a shared repository. You would have to use lots of git commands. git log --oneline is my most used command, using glog will save lots of time.

I work with others in shared repositories every day, though? For the example you gave, I have my git log already set up with a format I like in its central configuration file.

I just ran a test. Without rushing, I timed how long it took me to type glog<cr> 10 times, compared to git log<cr> and the results were 12s vs 17 seconds. I remain underwhelmed :)
