I also wanted to write an article like this after I same the many git alias articles on dev.to 😜

As I started as a developer I also used a lot of aliases. Nowadays, I don't use them anymore for these reasons:

  • If you want to help a colleague on another computer you often do not have your aliases and maybe don't remember the code behind your alias
  • Using autocompletion is nearly as fast as using an alias
