My .zshrc file is utterly huge. I also use OMZ but I’ve added so much stuff to my rc file, especially aliases, that I’ve found useful over time, though a lot have personal things in them so I’d have to go over each to make sure it’s “safe” to post, plus I have so many it’s easier to pick out things that do specific things as wanted for others. ^.^;

Here are some of my most used ones though but significantly not all:

alias digall='dig +nocmd any +multiline +noall +answer'

alias git-pristine='git clean --force -xd && git reset --hard'

alias diff-color='git diff --no-index'
alias diff-char='git diff --word-diff=color --word-diff-regex=. --no-index'
function diff-factorio-binary() {
        [[ -z "$1" ]] && echo "Missing first argument of <left-file>" && exit 1
        [[ -z "$2" ]] && echo "Missing second argument of <right-file>" && exit 2
        [[ -z "$3" ]] || echo "Too many arguments, ignoreing all but first two"
        #colordiff <(tr -c '[:print:]' '\n' < "$1" | tr "\\>" ">\n" | tr "," ",\n") <(tr -c '[:print:]' '\n' < "$2" | tr "\\>" ">\n" | tr "," ",\n")
        colordiff <(python -c 'import sys;print(repr(open(sys.argv[1]).read().replace(",", ",\n").replace(">", ">\n")).replace("\\n", "\n"))' "$1") \
                  <(python -c 'import sys;print(repr(open(sys.argv[1]).read().replace(",", ",\n").replace(">", ">\n")).replace("\\n", "\n"))' "$2")
}

alias emax='emacsclient -c' # Open in new X-Windows
alias emat='emacsclient -t' # Open in current terminal
alias emacs-stop='systemctl --user stop emacs.service'
alias emacs-start='systemctl --user start emacs.service'
#alias emacs-restart='systemctl --user restart emacs.service' # It's not setup for a restart command
export VISUAL='emacsclient -c'
export EDITOR='emacsclient -t'
alias weather='curl wttr.in'
# Can also specify location specifically, it uses IP address by default:
# alias weather='curl wttr.in/Longdon'
# Or ask for help:  curl wttr.in/:help
# Single-line output:
alias weathr='curl wttr.in/?format="%l:+%c+%t+%h+%m%M"'


ix() {

            return
        }   
        echo "^C to cancel, ^D to send."
    }
