Git Aliases

1. 
  git config alias.st status
  
  Create an alias 'st' so that when you type that... it executes the command git status

2. 
  cat .git/config | grep -A 1 "\[alias\]"
  
  Once the alias is setup you can view all aliases like this:

3.
  git config --global alias.st status
  or
  git config --global alias.st "status --short --branch"

  will create the alias in the users home directory. note that the send command 
  creates a short version of the status output.

4.
  git config --global alias.cma "commit --all -m" 

  commit all modified files using this message

5. 
  git config --global alias.qm '!git checkout $1;git merge @{-1}'

  this allows you to do a quick merge to a branch... for eg git qm master. master here is the parameter 1

6. 
  git config --global alias.co checkout
  
  this allows you to create an alias for checkout. eg git checkout BRANCH_NAME
