linkGit Aliases

There are two (perhaps more!) but mainly two ways to set up aliases for your git on your shell.

linkOption 1, using a bash alias

linkStop the dreaded error pushing to remote when making your first push. Never again!

1link$alias gp='git push -u origin HEAD'

linkPush your local changes. Quick!!!

1link$function acp() {

2link$git add .

3link$git commit -m "$1"

4link$git push -u origin HEAD

5link$}

6link$

linkCreate a new repo in a single command with readme and remote repository set up

1link$function gitnewrepo() {mkdir $1 && cd $1 && git init && hub create && touch README.md && echo "# " $1 >> README.md && git add . && git commit -m "init" && git push -u origin HEAD;}

linkOption 2 Using a global git alias (place in your global .gitconfig)

linkAdd a nice alias for log (no newlines)

1link$git config --global alias.l "log

2link$    --graph

3link$    --pretty=oneline

4link$    --abbrev-commit

5link$    --decorate"

6link$git l

linkEasily undo the last changes you made with a new git undo command

1link$git config --global alias.undo reset HEAD~1 --mixed

linkView your last commit

1link$git config --global alias.last 'log -1 HEAD --stat'

linkGet a list of your git aliases

1link$git config --global alias.gl 'config --global -l'
