Some VIM configs ("Persistent undo" and "Display tabs and trailing spaces visually") only work on version +7.3.

I was about to suggest "home" as an alias to cd ~ but then I saw you already had ~ for that. Great job :)

Added 3 vertical rulers to VIM:

• 50 is useful for git commit messages
• 72 is the recommended length for the body of a git commit message
• 90 is what I use for code (some people prefer 80)

@rjfv If you find a fix for the one-line command bug that happens to the prompt, let me know! 😉

Added some new aliases for Git:

ga="git add"
gd="git diff"
gc="git commit" # Tip: Don't use -m. Git will open Vim so you can check if the message < 50 chars
gs="git status"
gl="git log --pretty=format:'%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s'"
gg="git log --all --graph --decorate --oneline -n60" # Tip: Add 'git graph' to .gitconfig as well

Example output for gg:

Hint hint :) http://osxdaily.com/2013/08/22/start-web-search-from-command-line/

Why wasn't I using this? :)

Btw, I also use this for git:

gr="git rebase"
gpl="git pull"
gps="git push"

I just found out about this gem called git-smart. I find git smart-pull to be extremely helpful 😃 It also has a git smart-log that is similar to our git graph but better, with relative timestamps and author.
