+# Postgres plugin
+
+This plugin adds some aliases for useful Postgres commands.
+
+:warning: this plugin works exclusively with Postgres installed via Homebrew on OSX
+because Postgres paths are hardcoded to `/usr/local/var/postgres`.
+
+To use it, add `postgres` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... postgres)
+```
+
