# debian

This plugin provides Debian-related aliases and functions for zsh.

To use it add `debian` to the plugins array in your zshrc file.

```zsh
plugins=(... debian)
```

## Settings

- `$apt_pref`: use aptitude or apt if installed, fallback is apt-get.
- `$apt_upgr`: use upgrade or safe-upgrade (for aptitude).

Set `$apt_pref` and `$apt_upgr` to whatever command you want (before sourcing Oh My Zsh) to override this behavior.
