Here is how you setup aliases and shortcuts for git commands. Edit .gitconfig file in your $HOME directory.
[alias]
co = checkout
ci = commit
st = status
br = branch
hist = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]\" --graph --date=short
type = cat-file -t
dump = cat-file -p
Refer to the branch you've checked out when you use git push and/or git pull
[push]
default = current
Here are some more goodies in your aliases list. Thank me later 😎
[alias]
# Adds and commits files with a single command
add-commit = !git add -A && git commit
# Delete all local branches but master and the current one, only if they are fully merged with master.
br-delete-useless = "!f(){\git branch | grep -v "master" | grep -v ^* | xargs git branch -d;\}; f"
# Delete all local branches but master and the current one.
br-delete-useless-force = "!f(){\git branch | grep -v "master" | grep -v ^* | xargs git branch -D;\}; f"
