How do i create git aliases?
-
git config man page: http://bit.ly/2q0CtBk
After a while you will be using some git commands a lot. To create some shortcuts you can setup from git aliases.
Set up an alias for "git status" command.
$ git config alias.st status
To see the aliases
$ git config --list
You can alias any git command, it is very powerful and speeds things up. This is another example of looking at logs
$ git config alias.ml 'log --oneline --decorate --graph --all'
Now we can just run this.
$ git ml
It also becomes part of the git help for example if I type in the wrong command, it provides a suggest.
$ git mlq git: 'mlq' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Did you mean this? ml
