Example
There are two ways of creating aliases in Git:
- with the
~/.gitconfigfile:
[alias]
ci = commit
st = status
co = checkout
- with the command line:
git config --global alias.ci "commit"
git config --global alias.st "status"
git config --global alias.co "checkout"
After the alias is created - type:
git ciinstead ofgit commit,git stinstead ofgit status,git coinstead ofgit checkout.
As with regular git commands, aliases can be used beside arguments. For example:
git ci -m "Commit message..."
git co -b feature-42
