Quizás te interesen estos alias para el .gitconfig:

st = status
di = diff
co = checkout
ci = commit
br = branch
sta = stash

Agregado, muchas gracias por tu comentario.

Los alias estan comodos, yo aplique la misma del diff pero para meld

Aqui el script que estoy usando para desplegar en el bash prompt el nombre del branch en el que estas (y colorizado para indicar si hay cambios o no), a mi me es muy util (no recuerdo el link original del gist)
