# Postgres plugin

This plugin adds some aliases for useful Postgres commands.

:warning: this plugin works exclusively with Postgres installed via Homebrew on OSX
because Postgres paths are hardcoded to `/usr/local/var/postgres`.

To use it, add `postgres` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

```zsh
plugins=(... postgres)
```
