Some Quick tips for using git
, that I wish I knew years ago...
#Alias git
and common commands
- at a minimum, alias
g="git"
, it's a tool you use all the time save those keystrokes! - go further, alias common commands:
ga="git add"
,gst="git status"
,gc="git commit"
, etc - if you use
zsh
, theoh-my-zsh
configuration framework has tons of aliases for git(and other things) - if you don't want to take a whole framework, you can checkout the aliases it sets here https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Cheatsheet#git
#Use git stash
or WIP commit messages when changing branches
git stash
is a quick way to just put some changes to the side when you need to change the focus of your work
