Well, looks like this conflicts with #819

kRHYME7 · 2025-06-16T13:58:54Z

what happens if one runs a zsh script will the alias be skipped?

what happens if one runs a zsh script will the alias be skipped?

Aliases can be deleted/skipped safely:

Original cat will be used instead of bat w/o any issues if no aliases were applied.
For commands with --help/-h options no post-processing and syntax coloring will be applied (also original behaviour).

kRHYME7 · 2025-06-16T15:08:06Z

Aliases can be deleted/skipped safely:

Is it automatic or Scripts should use realpath to avoid mangling with aliases?

Good question, I will check it additionally

zeerayne · 2025-06-16T19:01:23Z

@kRHYME7 scripts ignore aliases and use native commands instead

zeerayne · 2025-06-23T07:07:46Z

Nope, this is both for zsh and fish

This PR is now fish-only. zsh version moved to other PR #860
