How to configure alias in Zsh?
Whether you use Mac OSX or Linux, you utilise the terminal or shell a lot as a developer. Some commands are simply excessively long, laborious, and ineffective when used frequently. These can be condensed by using Command aliases in Zsh or Bash.
For example:
1
alias rs4="rails server --port=4000"
By using above, we can start a rails server at port 4000 with an alias command rs4.
To configure aliases, edit your zshrc and source it again after adding aliases.

2
vi ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
I have loads of aliases and some of them are:
