📁 File and Directory Management:
- .., ..., ....: Navigate up one, two, or three directories.
- back: Go back to the last directory.
- la: List all files (excluding . and ..) with human-readable sizes.
- lsd: List only directories.
🌟 Git Shortcuts for Productivity:
- gs: Git status.
- ga: Git add.
- gc: Git commit with a message.
- gl: Pretty Git log (graph format).
🖥️ System Monitoring & Management:
- dfh: Disk usage in human-readable format.
- duh: Folder sizes in human-readable format.
- journal: View critical system logs.
- meminfo: View memory usage in MB.
- cpuinfo: Show CPU information.
⚙️ Configuration Shortcuts:
- bashrc, zshrc, vimrc, profile: Quickly edit configuration files.
- reload: Reload .zshrc file without restarting the shell.
💡 Quality of Life Improvements:
- cls: Clear the terminal screen.
- now: Show the current date and time.
- cwd: Copy the current working directory to the clipboard.
- Fun shortcuts like shrug (¯\_(ツ)_/¯), lenny ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), flip (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, and unflip ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ).

⚠️ 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:
```
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.

🚀 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.

🔧 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.

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

🛠️ 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.).
