Dear Maintainer,

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

as a shorthand for

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

As mentioned in the ubuntu downstream bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tor/+bug/1687037 )
it doesn't matter what shell you use, torify just doesn't check.

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

tor:    Installed: 0.3.4.8-1
debian: buster

Hi Jeff,

(almost fully quoting for the torsocks maintainers' sake)

Jeff Cliff:

Nowadays torify is a mere wrapper around torsocks ⇒ reassigning.

Cheers,
