These don't sound lazy at all, but just properly following the path of least resistance.

Though it sounds like some of these (like the cd example) could be simplified with Tab-completion.

I really hated copying and pasting or typing out individual filenames with git, so I started using github.com/holygeek/git-number which gives the ease of a git gui to the git cli.

My motto for shortcuts and aliases is that "I just hate typing" even though I really don't, but it forces me to think "how many times do I do this?" what if I cut the command in half?
