Aliases

• Your global Git configuration is in $HOME/.gitconfig

• It has a useful section called alias:

        [alias]
          co = checkout
          cp = cherry-pick
          st = status

• Now git co is short for git checkout add so forth

• Because I'm lazy

          figg = diff
          grpe = grep
          revparse = rev-parse

• Because I make a lot of typos

• You can include options:

          mine = log --author=mjd

• git mine is just like git log but it only shows my commits

          log1 = log --oneline --decorate

• git log1 is just like git log but it automatically enables --oneline and --decorate

          wip = commit -a -m WIP -n

• Quick, commit everything with the message WIP

          fx = commit --amend -C HEAD

• I use git fx to correct the previous commit
