We can create aliases, shorter versions for git commands, using git config command.
git config --global alias.<shorter_name> <command>
If the command is having multiple words, then you single quotes
git config --global alias.<shorter_name> '<command> <attribute1> <attr2> .... '
Examples:
For checkout command use:
git config --global alias.co checkout
For commit command use:
git config --global alias.ct commit
For branch command use:
git config --global alias.br branch
For status command use:
git config --global alias.st status
For pull complete command (multiple words) use:
git config --global alias.plm 'pull origin master'
Note: you can check all the aliases & other config options using
git config --global --list
Output:
alias.co=checkout
alias.br=branch
alias.ct=commit
alias.st=status
alias.plm=pull origin master
