betterbrew-zsh-plugin - better command aliases for the macOS Homebrew Package Manager in zsh

betterbrew-zsh-plugin contains short aliases for all homebrew commands.

This is for my personal use and is always a work in progress. Feel free to hang with it.

Example

Without typing full homebrew commands in console, like:

$ brew install zsh --build-from-source

there is more convenient alias:

$ bifs zsh

Installation on oh-my-zsh

  1. Go to oh-my-zsh plugins directory:

    $ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins
    
  2. Clone the repository into a new directory betterbrew :

    git clone https://github.com/timothyrowan/betterbrew-zsh-plugin.git betterbrew
    
  3. Enable betterbrew plugin by adding to your .zshrc configuration file:

    plugins=(betterbrew)
    
  4. Restart your shell.
