  - `ga`: Git add.
  - `gc`: Git commit with a message.
  - `gl`: Pretty Git log (graph format).

- **🖥️ System Monitoring & Management:**

### **❌ Removed**
- **⚠️ Dangerous or Redundant Aliases:**
  - **`del`**: `alias del='mv -t ~/.local/share/Trash'`
    - 🔒 **Reason**: Risk of unintended file deletion by masking commands. Use dedicated trash utilities like `trash-cli` instead.
  - **`cleanup`**: `alias cleanup="paru -Rns $(paru -Qtdq) && paru -Sc"`
    - 🚨 **Reason**: Automatically removing orphaned packages and cache without review is unsafe. Run `paru -Qtdq` manually for review instead.
  - **`flushdns`**: `alias flushdns="sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved"`
    - ❌ **Reason**: This is specific to `systemd-resolved` and may not apply to all systems. Avoid aliases dependent on a single environment.
  - **`timer`**: A long-running alias that could confuse users:
    ```zsh
    alias timer="echo 'Timer started. Stop with Ctrl+C.' && date +%s && while true; do sleep 1; done"
    ```
    - 🛑 **Reason**: Infinite loops can cause confusion. Use a script or dedicated timer tool instead.

- **🤪 Fun Aliases Removed:**
  - **`party`:** A whimsical alias with no functional use.
    - **Reason**: Focus on meaningful and productive aliases.

---

### **🔄 Changed**
- **🚀 System-Specific or Unsafe Aliases Adjusted:**
  - **`rm` command is now safer (not included directly in aliases):**
    - Suggest replacing `rm` with a custom safeguard function (`safe_rm`) to block dangerous commands like `sudo rm -rf /`.

- **🛠️ Alias Loading Order Improved:**
  - Plugins and framework sources (`zsh-autosuggestions`, `zsh-syntax-highlighting`) now load **before** aliases and custom functions to avoid conflicts.

---

### **📚 Reorganized**
- **🔧 Improved File Structure for Readability:**
  - Organized aliases into **categories**: File Management, Git Shortcuts, System Monitoring, Package Management, Quality of Life, and Fun.
  - Placed system-specific commands (e.g., `paru` aliases) into a dedicated section.
  - Removed ambiguity by grouping similar aliases together for better maintainability.

---

### **🎯 Why These Changes?**
1. **🛡️ Safety:** Prevent unintended consequences from ambiguous or dangerous aliases (e.g., `del` and `cleanup`).
2. **✅ Clarity:** Focus on aliases that are genuinely useful for day-to-day tasks.
3. **🌐 Compatibility:** Make the alias file system-agnostic by avoiding environment-specific commands (e.g., `systemd-resolved` for `flushdns`).
4. **⚡ Efficiency:** Provide shortcuts for frequently used tasks without overloading the configuration.

---

### **🚀 Future Improvements**
- 🛠️ Add dynamic checks for system-specific commands to prevent sourcing incompatible aliases.
- 🧹 Introduce more safeguards for dangerous operations (e.g., using `safe_rm` to block destructive file deletions).
- 🌟 Expand aliases with productivity-enhancing shortcuts for commonly used tools or workflows (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, etc.).
