Does not expand shell aliases

Copied by the Debian bugtracker https://bugs.debian.org/909517:

It is often handy to create shell aliases to do tasks that would otherwise require a lot of retyping the same thing over and over. For example git push might very well be aliased to push at the shell level by

alias push='git push'

then you could conceivably use

torsocks push

as a shorthand for

torify git push <git url>

this however fails: torsocks does not expand the aliases and doesn't know what push is.

As mentioned in the ubuntu downstream bug it doesn't matter what shell you use, torsocks just doesn't check.

what happens: torsocks takes the arguments passed in without checking if there are aliases involved what should happen: is torsocks should be alias-aware.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
