GNU Utility
===========
Provides for the interactive use of GNU utilities on non-GNU systems.
This module wraps the GNU utility commands in their non-prefixed counterparts,
for interactive use, rather than appending to `$PATH`.
Installing GNU utilities on non-GNU systems in `$PATH` without a prefix, i.e.
`ls` instead of `gls`, is not recommended since scripts that target other
utilities will be broken.
This module must be loaded **before** the *utility* module.
Settings
--------
### Prefix
To use a different prefix, add the following to *zpreztorc*, and replace 'g' with
the desired prefix:
zstyle ':prezto:module:gnu-utility' prefix 'g'
