Dotnet EF Aliases and Completions Zsh

This script enhances the usage of dotnet ef commands in Zsh by enabling tab completion and providing useful aliases for common commands.

Features

• Tab Completion: Provides autocompletion for dotnet ef commands in Zsh.
• Command Aliases: Shortened aliases for frequently used dotnet ef commands.

Installation

1. Copy the script into your Zsh configuration file (e.g., ~/.zshrc).
2. Restart your terminal or run source ~/.zshrc to apply the changes.

Tab Completion

The script adds tab completion for dotnet ef commands. If dotnet is not installed or completions fail to generate, an error message is displayed.
