I had wrote a vscode extension used to manage system aliases

At first I just wanted to make a git alias plugin, and after talking to my friend, he suggested that I make a management system alias plugin directly, which is more convenient and concise.

It took me about a day to complete the development of this plugin.You can find it in vscode extensions market.
