For any extensive change, such as a new plugin, you will have to find testers to +1 your PR.
### New plugin aliases
We acknowledge that aliases are a core part of Oh My Zsh. There are plugins that have +100 aliases!
This has become an issue for two opposing reasons:
- Some users want to have their personal aliases in Oh My Zsh.
- Some users don't want any aliases at all and feel that there are too many.
Because of this, from now on we're requiring that new aliases follow these conditions:
1. They will be used by many people, not just a few.
2. The aliases will be used many times and for common tasks.
3. Prefer one generic alias over many specific ones.
4. When justifying the need for an alias, talk about workflows where you'll use it,
preferably in combination with other aliases.
5. If there exists a command with the same name, look for a different alias name.
This list is not exhaustive! Please remember that your alias will be in the machines of many people,
so it should be justified why they should have it.
