Why type out `git status`? I use `gst`, and lots of other great aliases provided by the [oh-my-zsh git plugin](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/blob/master/plugin...)
for a in $(git var -l | sed -nE 's/^alias\.([^=]*)=.*/\1/p') ; do
if ! command -v g$a >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
alias g$a="git $a"
fi
done
My newer philosophy toward git aliases is the one described here: http://gggritso.com/human-git-aliases. After reading this I totally overhauled my .gitconfig and replaced it with the one described here and I’m a lot happier.
I can usually get away with typing the first letter of each word. So `gd` for git diff.
I also have a variety of git aliases like:
## git log aliases
#
# p -> --patch
# o -> --oneline
# r -> --reverse
# s -> --stat
# 1 -> -n1
# m -> master..
# om -> origin/master..
dom = diff origin/master..
doom = diff origin/master..
rbiom = rebase -i origin/master
lp = log -p
lo = log --oneline
lo1 = log --oneline -n1
lr = log --reverse
lm = log master..
lrm = log --reverse master..
lor = log --oneline --reverse
lorm = log --oneline --reverse master..
lorom = log --oneline --reverse origin/master..
lom = log --oneline master..
loom = log --oneline origin/master..
l1 = log -n1
...Somewhat more seriously, I haven't had to worry about typing 'git git' because I haven't typed 'git' on a daily basis in years. I think I've probably typed it once in the last month.
