Nice! I create two-letter aliases, it truly helps:

gc = git checkout

gs = git status

etc...



Here's mine:

    alias g="git"
    __git_complete g _git # enable git autocompletion (braches, etc.)
    alias gc="git commit -am"
    alias gp="git push"
    __git_complete gp _git_checkout # checkout is more useful than _git_push because it autocompletes the branch
    alias ga="git add -A"
    alias gd="git diff"
    alias gb="git branch"
    alias gx="git checkout"
    __git_complete gx _git_checkout
    alias gs="git status"
    alias gl="git log"


Good collection! I have many of these, plus a slightly longer one for quick fixups that happen all too often:

    alias gcane="git commit --amend --no-edit"


probably you will like

  function fixup() {
    git commit --fixup=$1
  }
  function refixup() {
    git rebase -i --autosquash --autostash $1^1
  }


I have a ton of aliases but I have them all proceeded by an underscore. That way, I don't muck up native commands.

alias _up='sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y'


Nice, I have those same aliases.

Also not afraid to add multi-letter aliases if I find myself typing the same multi-word command over and over.

For example git diff master HEAD becomes gdmh


alias g=git

And then define one and two letter aliases for the things you do often:

st=status

l=log --with-prettiness

ap=add --patch

shit=reset

co=checkout
