git shortcuts

I've just recently had to set up my git environment again. One thing came to my attention, that I've not got them all written down anywhere. This post is documentation so next time I have to do this I will have them easily to hand.

$git config --global --list

alias.cm=commit -m
alias.co=checkout
alias.d=diff
alias.ds=diff --staged
alias.l=log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
alias.s=status --short


This can be set up by either adding it to your git config ~/.gitconfig
[alias]
  cm = commit -m
  co = checkout
  d  = diff
  ds = diff --staged
  l  = log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
  s  = status --short

Or you can use the console to set the alias'

git config --global alias.cm commit -m
git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.d  diff
git config --global alias.ds diff --staged
git config --global alias.l  log --oneline --decorate --graph --all
git config --global alias.s  status --short


Also I use ZSH as my console of choice which has many built in shortcuts for practically all git commands. But to be honest I find them a little cryptic even for me. Be my guest to check it out https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Cheatsheet
