Git Alias­es and Short­cuts

This is a list of com­mon git alias­es and short­cuts. In my opin­ion, cryp­tic alias­es like “gp” for git-push or “gc” for git-check­out are very hard to re­mem­ber. There­fore, I will write longer alias­es that are more eas­i­ly to re­mem­ber. Since bash or zsh have au­to-com­ple­tion, you can just write “git­co” and then press and let the bash au­to-com­plete it to “git­com­mit”. The most time con­sum­ing is the white­space be­tween the com­mands, since au­to-com­ple­tion can not guess what com­mand I need. I think that is a good com­pro­mise be­tween sav­ing time typ­ing and how easy it is to re­mem­ber all of the alias­es and short­cuts. I will add ad­di­tion­al alias­es and short­cuts as I need them.
