July 2024

• Replaced the previous custom prompt with Starship for more powerful and flexible customization.
• The installer now interactively prompts the user to install Starship and enables it on confirmation.
• Added a basic man page for aliashub.
• The installation script now automatically detects the user's package manager (apt or pacman) and installs the correct aliases.
• Added support for Arch-based distributions.
• The installer checks for figlet and offers to install it, allowing the user to set a custom ASCII logo for their terminal startup.
• Users can now set their preferred command-line editor during installation.

• Create an uninstall.sh script: A script to safely remove ~/.alias and revert changes to .bashrc.
• Add support for more distributions: Extend package manager support to include dnf (Fedora) and zypper (openSUSE).
• Review personal aliases: Generalize any remaining user-specific aliases in files like .cl to be useful for a wider audience.
• Add more alias modules: Create new alias files for common developer tools like Docker, kubectl, etc.
• Add support for other shells zsh, fish, etc
