This global .gitconfig file is from the hands-on coding lab, Git Productive on Know the Code.

In this lab, we are taking confusing and time-consuming tasks, wrapping them up in scripts, and building a simple alias command to automate the work we do every single day in our workflow.

These aliases have been tested on Windows and Mac.
