How to configure git alias

Git allows you to use aliases for command lines. The alias concept is similar to linux. Setup git alias is very fast: in your $HOME edit the .gitconfig file and add the following text:

[alias]
    l = log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h\\ %ad%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue\\ [%cn]" --decorate --date=short

Now if you run the following command:

$ git l

see the output of alias "l". Now you are ready to create a new customer alias or add other aliases available in web.

Examples of aliase are:

    l = log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h\\ %ad%Cred%d\\ %Creset%s%Cblue\\ [%cn]" --decorate --date=short
    a = add    
    ap = add -p
    c = commit --verbose
    cm = commit -m
    cam = commit -a -m
    d = diff
    ds = diff --stat
    dc = diff --cached
    s = status -s
    co = checkout
    cob = checkout -b
    cmp = "!f() { git add -A && git commit -m "$@" && git push; }; f"
    la = "!git config -l | grep alias | cut -c 7-"
