Misc

• G.. changes the current directory to the top level of the working tree.
• G? looks up the aliases defined here with the given regular expressions.

Settings

By default, all aliases are defined with an upper case G prefix, as you can see above. You can use the following zstyle if you wish to customize the prefix used to generate all aliases:

zstyle ':zim:git' aliases-prefix 'g'

Add the zstyle to your ~/.zshrc before where the module is initialized.

Be careful if changing the prefix to lower case g, as the generated aliases can shadow many commands, like gpt for the GUID partition table maintenance utility.
