The Ultimate Git Alias Setup on OS X (brew)

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.

Installing an older version of a Homebrew package:

1. `git clone git@github.com:Homebrew/homebrew-core.git`
2. Go into homebrew-core/Formula and find your formula (e.g. kibana.rb)
3. `git log kibana.rb`
4. Find the id of the commit that creates or updates that version (for version 6.0.1 that is b7f9249c69beb918f322c165595f1a2d3b1a1608).
5. `brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/b7f9249c69beb918f322c165595f1a2d3b1a1608/Formula/kibana.rb`
6. Prevent it from being updated by calling `brew pin kibana`.

From time to time, Musk will send out an e-mail to the entire company to enforce a new policy or let them know about something that's bothering him. One of the more famous e-mails arrived in May 2010 with the subject line: Acronyms Seriously Suck:

There is a creeping tendency to use made up acronyms at SpaceX. Excessive use of made up acronyms is a significant impediment to communication and keeping communication good as we grow is incredibly important. Individually, a few acronyms here and there may not seem so bad, but if a thousand people are making these up, over time the result will be a huge glossary that we have to issue to new employees. No one can actually remember all these acronyms and people don't want to seem dumb in a meeting, so they just sit there in ignorance. This is particularly tough on new employees.

That needs to stop immediately or I will take drastic action - I have given enough warning over the years. Unless an acronym is approved by me, it should not enter the SpaceX glossary.
