lol, I named my alias `git lol` because it is logs in one line.

lol, I named mine 'git l' because I type it far too often.

I named my custom logging command 'git ls', which is an idiotic name (that should list files or something), but I'm stuck with it now :)

I use two-letter bash aliases for all my most commonly used git commands.

    git status
    git diff
    git diff --cached
    git add -A
    git commit -m Hello
    git push

Is instead just

    st
    dp
    di
    aa
    cm Hello
    pu

Additionally I also have

le

For

    git shortlog -s -e

which I don’t use very often but often enough that having an alias for it still makes sense

I edited my inputrc to do a prefix search. So I just ‘git x’ where x is some letter, pressing up usually finds me what I want.

It still surprises me we don’t have good bash autocomplete.

Not sure how hard it is to create a shell but i’d do it in a heartbeat.

i think 'xonsh' aims to do that

mine is assigned to the bash alias "gl"

Mine is only `gl`, but I edited my .zshrc for that.
