Description

I guess it would be nice to:

  • put shell aliases in environment variable (TF_SHELL_ALIASES) in alias and get it from there, instead of calling shell from app (done for bash and zsh);
  • move all writes to history to alias (done for bash and zsh).

It would speedup thefuck, and probably will fix #428, #422 and #402.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at how thefuck currently calls shells for alias detection and history writing. Implement environment variable TF SHELL ALIASES for bash and zsh, and move history writes to the alias script for both shells.
