I think Fish shell "abbreviations" [1] are more suitable for interactive demos than standard Bash/Zsh aliases. Basically, instead of e.g. `gc` meaning `git commit` (alias), `gc` can be expanded to `git commit` (abbr), so you can save typing but still show the actual command. Modern versions of Fish has both abbreviations and aliases. Personally, I prefer aliases for providing default arguments to commands (e.g. turning on colorized output), but prefer abbreviations for timesavers like the `gc` above.
