• FNM: Node.js version management (if available)

Customization

You can customize the utilities by:

1. Modifying batch files in the utility directories
2. Adding new aliases to _bashrc.cmd
3. Creating new utility directories for additional tools

🧪 Testing

Run the test scripts to verify all utilities are working:

# Test all utilities
test-git-aliases
test-npm-aliases
test-python-aliases

# Or test individual utilities
git-utils\test-git-aliases.bat
npm-utils\test-npm-aliases.bat
python-utils\test-python-aliases.bat

📖 Usage Examples

Git Workflow

gs          # Check status
ga .        # Stage all changes
gc -m "feat: add new feature"  # Commit
gu          # Update repository
gbU         # Update all branches

NPM Development

ni          # Install dependencies
nrb         # Build project
nrs         # Start development server
ntu         # Run unit tests
nti --watch # Run integration tests in watch mode

Python Development

🔄 Migration from zsh

This project converts zsh aliases to Windows batch format:

• Original: _zsh_aliases.sh (zsh format)
• Converted: _bashrc.cmd + utility directories (Windows format)

Key differences:

• Uses doskey for aliases instead of alias
• Standalone .bat files instead of shell functions
• Windows path syntax (\ instead of /)
• Windows-compatible commands (rmdir instead of rm)

🤝 Contributing

2. Create a feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Add amazing feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/amazing-feature)
5. Open a Pull Request
