Add option to disable ohmyzsh's aliases

[ghost]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes. I don't want aliases i never asked for. When I do alias i see that there are aliases like egrep='egrep --color=auto --exclude-dir={.bzr,CVS,.git,.hg,.svn,.idea,.tox}', which I have no idea about.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if I could set a variable like OMZ_ALIASES=false, so that i can disable aliases, or a even better solution would be to maintain the list of aliases in a separate file, so that I can comment out the ones if don't want//

Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried to manually comment out the aliases i don't want by grep-ing, but that is tiresome

Additional context
I am not talking about the git aliases, which are rather helpful. I am talking about the aliases that are sourced even when plugins=()

Related Issues
Unwanted aliases can lead to people wondering what they are doing wrong when they aren't doing anything wrong, and its the alias they never knew they had causing the problem.

Are you sure these are from oh-my-zsh, and not from your distributions /etc/profile or similar?

@MrAureliusR yes i am sure these are from oh-my-zsh, try it yourself
Run alias and you will see "_" aliases as sudo

Can you show your list of aliases? Mine isn't showing this.

You can add an unset at the end of your .zshrc, I was having the same issue with fd being overwritten by the common-aliases plugins. So I added:

unset fd to the end of my .zshrc

This is a slightly similar situation as this PR for fd, #9162

There's a proposal for a way to turn off aliases in #10644. Please have a look and add your feedback. Thanks!

I found this conversation because my own aliases such as l and ll are overwritten with omz reload or omz update. There are no plugins that help me find out where these individual definitions are, so I can comment them out.

I also find _ aliased to sudo

[rwmitchell]

I add an unalias above my own that conflict ( usually my own functions vs OMZ aliases) instead of commenting out anything in OMZ as that requires future maintenance.

[mcornella]

Another option is to add the aliases after OMZ has been sourced. The aliases you mention in particular are coming from lib/directories.zsh.

_ is coming from lib/misc.zsh

[daBee]

I found lib/directories.zsh and commented those two out. Ironic there is no way of mapping declarations of various aliases.
